THIS WEEK'S SHOW (DEC 20, 9:00 pm EST): FINANCING FREEDOM
The positive impact of assistive technology continues to be evident
for Americans with disabilities. Loan financing programs have proven
to be an alternative of great potential in relieving the burden of
cost for this technology. We'll be joined this Sunday by Dr. Joey
Wallace of the Virginia Assistive Technology System, a nationally
known expert on loan financing programs. What have your experiences
been in financing assistive technology. Do you know whether a loan
program is available in your area? What is being done to expand
assistive technology loans across the country? How do banks look at
the disability community? Tune in to this week's show, Sunday at 9:05
PM Eastern Time on the radio and on the Internet.
