A resolution designating April 30, 2025, as "National Assistive Technology Awareness Day".
This resolution designates April 30, 2025, as "National Assistive Technology Awareness Day" to highlight the importance of assistive technology for people with disabilities and older adults. It directly affects millions of Americans with disabilities (nearly 70 million, per CDC data) and older adults (2 in 5 aged 65+), who rely on such technology for inclusion, education, and employment. The resolution does not create new policies or funding but formally recognizes the role of assistive technology and commends specialists, programs, and researchers supporting its access. It serves as a symbolic gesture to raise public awareness about technology that enables community participation and economic self-sufficiency.
