Accessibility.SC.Gov brought to you by the ATAC

The South Carolina Assistive Technology Advisory Committee (ATAC) is a technology architecture committee of the State Budget and Control Board, Division of State Information Technology (DSIT). With a primary focus on information technology accessibility, ATAC is composed of representatives from many state agencies. Since its inception in 2001, ATAC has worked to further the following goals:

• Provide education opportunities for agencies and educational institutions
• Update and enhance the website to provide resources for all South Carolinians
• Promote ATAC Services and benefits to state agencies, educational institutions, service consumers, and other public and private entities
• Construct and implement a plan for ensuring the sustainability and continuance of ATAC services and benefits into the future
