Who we are
AT Chat is an online peer-led community and service providing assistive technology (AT) information, support, and advice for people with disability and those who support them.
Our passion is helping you discover assistive technology (AT) that enhances your independence!
What we do
AT Chat’s mission is to increase the capability and confidence of people with disability to make assistive technology (AT) decisions through access to peer support and peer-led information.
Individuals are further supported on their AT journey through connection to their peers through AT Chatterbox. A private Facebook community of over 1,300 highly engaged members which provides AT users from around the world with a safe online space to share information, lived experiences, and ideas about AT.
Our journey
AT Chat started as a group of AT users interested in exploring how best to work with the community of AT users in Australia.
We commenced our co-design processes in April 2017 by conducting a survey of how people with disability (PwD) in Western Australia like to access information about assistive technology.
In response to these findings AT Chat launched @atchatwithus on Facebook to host peer-led content and discussion about assistive technology. We also created AT Chatterbox which is a closed Facebook group for AT users to share information, experiences, and ideas around the topic of AT.
