The program's service portfolio includes technology demonstrations, device loans, training, technical assistance, and public information resources. The program operates the Assistive Technology Loan Program (ATLP), a financial loan-guarantee initiative established in 1999, and develops consumer training materials, audiologist training resources, hearing assistive technology funding guides, and educational materials for consumers and service providers to increase loan origination rates and expand device try-before-purchase opportunities.

Performance period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. Work is performed in Maryland.

The ACL Assistive Technology program supports state efforts to improve assistive technology provision to individuals with disabilities of all ages through comprehensive statewide programs. Annual formula grants are distributed to states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and outlying areas as designated by governors.
