KATCO is primarily a funding service for Kansans
with disabilities and their families. There are other
Financial Resources in Kansas. Before selecting a
specific item for purchase, you may want to research
atmatch.com. There are also a variety of Other Related
Resources in Kansas, ranging from government
services to non-profit organizations. KATCO
encourages consumers to explore all possible options.
The organizations in this directory have indicated that they provide equipment assistance for consumers who may benefit from assistive technology. Assistance often includes information of other AT services and assistance in obtaining funding. Many of them serve specific regions or communities; others serve only persons with certain diagnosed conditions.
National organizations are included in a separate directory listing after the Kansas directory. For a directory of the durable medical equipment providers in Kansas who are Medicaid approved equipment suppliers, go to (address of upcoming equipment exchange page).
KATCO intends these directories to be a service, and cautions users that the individual organizations may change their policies and practices without our knowledge.
