Here is what you need to know about the ARPA Relief Funding
The American Rescue Plan Act is providing funds to schools and libraries across America to address learning loss and the academic needs of students. These funds will be allocated by each state to schools and libraries for the purchase of assistive technology.
This is a great opportunity for you to reach out to your contacts at local schools and libraries and have them evaluate their facility’s needs and action plan for facilitating distance learning, in-person learning, or a hybrid of both with the help of our products.

In summary, schools and districts can use stimulus money to better support students who are blind or low vision.
