MonTECH provides technology, support, and services that improve the quality of life for Montanans with disabilities.

MonTECH provides free, confidential information about assistive technology (AT) devices and services for Montanans.

We strive to ensure that all people in Montana with disabilities have equitable access to assistive technology devices and services in order to enhance their independence, productivity, and quality of life. In pursuit of this goal, program staff work with consumers, service providers, educators, therapists, state agencies, private industry, researchers, legislators, and other interested individuals.
