President Signs Assistive Technology Act

On October 25, 2004, President Bush signed the Assistive Technology Act of 2004. There was no signing ceremony. The President’s Press Secretary issued a statement listing several bills that the President signed into law – the Tech Act was among them.

This represents a great victory for people with disabilities and for many CCD organizations who worked long and hard on this effort.

Congratulations to all who helped make this happen.
