| CAP provides
needs assessments, assistive technology, and training to our nation's

therapists, case managers, and military lialisons at military treatment
facilities (MTFs) to increase awareness and availability of assistive
technology (AT). Once the appropriate AT has been identified, CAP
provides the solutions, free of charge, to support a service member's
medical recovery and rehabilitation. |
