Oklahoma ABLE Tech hosted the annual Spring Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) partner meeting last Wednesday. Averie Hinchey-Lucas, Device Loan and Demonstration Programs Manager, led an action-packed meeting full of program reminders, partner updates, new AT demonstrations, and a tour of Oklahoma ABLE Tech's Smart Home.

Following the meeting, our mobility van partners showcased their modified vehicles, allowing attendees to explore each one's features.

Oklahoma ABLE Tech collaborates with organizations across the state that share our mission to enhance the lives of all Oklahomans by providing assistive technology (AT) devices and services, financing opportunities, digital accessibility services, advocacy, and education. Oklahoma ABLE Tech extends sincere gratitude to all our MOA partners for their invaluable services to Oklahomans statewide.
