Title III of the Assistive Technology
Act of 1998 as in effect prior to the amendments of 2004 (P.L.
105-394) (AT Act of 1998) authorized grants to public agencies to
support the establishment and maintenance of alternative financing
programs (AFPs) that feature one or more alternative financing
mechanisms to enable individuals with disabilities and their family
members, guardians, advocates, and authorized representatives to
purchase Assistive technology (AT). Section 307 of title III
requires that RSA submit to Congress an annual report on the
activities conducted under that title. In order to meet this
requirement, states must provide annual progress reports to the
Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA).
