L. 113-128) signed by President Obama in July 2014, the Assistive Technology Act Data Reporting and Analysis cooperative agreement with the Center for Assistive Technology Act Data Assistance (CATADA) at the University of Massachusetts--Boston, Institute for Community Inclusion transferred from the U.S. Department of Education, Rehabilitation Services Administration to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL). The CATADA Project is a national technical assistance grant for assistive technology programs that provides a comprehensive and state-specific, regional and national data reporting system and resources to entities funded under Section 4 of the AT Act to improve the reporting of data and performance measures for the required state-level and state leadership activities, and to provide appropriate information to entities not funded under the AT Act to improve awareness of and access to assistive technology. The Department of Health and Human Services is currently transitioning and developing the information collection instruments for the State Grant for AT programs under Section 4 of the AT Act to ACL. The CATADA Project provides training and technical assistance on the use of an accessible national AT data reporting system that supports a day-to-day information collection tool and an aggregate report for the submission of federally required data and performance measures for all 56 State Grant for AT programs under the AT Act.
