NMTAP offers free services to New Mexicans with disabilities to help them get the assistive technology (AT) services they need. It is a statewide program designed to increase knowledge of, access to, and acquisition of assistive or adaptive technology for anyone with any disability, anywhere in the state, of any age.

NMTAP hired a Digital Divide Coordinator for a one year project  

Alice Shriver was hired recently to research and assess the digital gaps that exist for individuals with disabilities throughout New Mexico. We know gaps exist, however, information from impacted persons is needed to coordinate services for bridging these gaps.

Alice will provide information and training to individuals with disabilities as well as those of us who serve them. Her training will create or enhance digital accessibility statewide.

Before her new role, Alice had many years of experience with Assistive Technologies (AT) as a master designer of customized AT. Through her own physical rehabilitation, she realized the need for solutions to help her maintain independence in everyday activities.  She became a Master Maker in the Makerspace world, and she is currently co-founder and president of Nexus Abilities.

When you see Alice, please welcome her, and share the truths of your digital barriers as well as the obstacles you see others around you facing. Together, we can move forward to Digital Equity for all New Mexicans with disabilities, including those with challenges from the natural aging process.

To share your digital barriers only with Alice, check under Contact Us.
