Wyoming Assistive Technology Resources (WATR)
WATR is Wyoming’s Assistive Technology Act program and a resource for all AT needs in Wyoming. Assistive Technology may be a device or solution that enhances an individual’s ability to live, play, or work independently. AT can take the form of a device, tool, or adaptation that supports a person when participating in everyday activities and settings.
The Assistive Technology Act supports state efforts to improve the provision of AT by providing states with financial assistance to implement State Level Activities and State Leadership Activities to meet the AT needs of individuals with disabilities.

- A lending library of therapeutic equipment and assistive technology has been established at the Wyoming Life Resource Center in Lander in memory of Anna Maria Weston.
- Many pieces of equipment have been donated from around the state so that others may have access to equipment without having to purchase it.
- Equipment may be borrowed from the center at no charge by anyone living in Wyoming.
- Donations of equipment no longer being used can be made to the lending library.
- Monetary donations can also be made to the Anna Maria Weston Memorial Fund to support the lending library. All donations are tax-deductible.
