Broad incumbents

• ABLEDATA: Federally funded AT information database providing product comparisons and resource listings—a complementary (rather than competitive) resource serving the same end-user population as LATAN.
• Goodwill Industries International: Large nonprofit operating disability services, workforce programs, and some AT-related reuse programs across multiple states—comparable as a community-based disability services nonprofit, though far broader in scope.
• Center for Assistive Technology Act Data Assistance (CATADA): Data and technical assistance center supporting all State AT Act Programs, including LATAN—an institutional peer operating within the same federal AT Act funding ecosystem.
• Easterseals: National nonprofit providing disability and rehabilitation services including AT-related programs across many states—comparable in serving individuals with disabilities through community-based service delivery, though operating at much larger scale.
• Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA): Professional society supporting the AT field through certification, research, and policy advocacy—adjacent peer as the broader professional ecosystem LATAN operates within.

Regional players

• Perkins School for the Blind: Specialized institution serving individuals with disabilities (particularly visual impairment) through education and AT services—comparable as a mission-aligned disability services organization, though focused on a narrower disability segment.

Direct peers

• Georgia Tools for Life (Georgia Tech): Georgia's State AT Act Program housed at Georgia Tech, providing AT demonstrations, device lending, and training statewide—a close functional parallel to LATAN's role in Louisiana.
• TechOWL (Temple University, Pennsylvania): Pennsylvania's State AT Act Program operated through Temple University, offering AT device demonstrations, loans, and training—matching LATAN's core service model under the same federal AT Act framework.
• INDATA Project (Easterseals Arc of Indiana): Indiana's State AT Act Program providing device demonstrations, loans, and reuse—directly comparable to LATAN in mission, funding model, and service design as a sister state AT program.
• Pass It On Center (AT Reuse): National AT reuse and refurbishment program supporting state AT Act programs with device recycling and reuse—directly comparable as an AT access infrastructure peer within the same federal ecosystem.
