A Mother's Dream

is Our Mission

Lynn and Sandy Chiu
Beginnings:
Tech-Able began as a dream of Lynn Chiu who sought to build a center that helped to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. The mother of three, her youngest Sandy born with Cerebral Palsy lead Lynn to develop a place where individuals could obtain information and resources regarding Assistive Technology. The hope was to help individuals to meet their chosen potential and to claim their place in society!

The Center started in a humble warehouse space in Conyers, GA. Services included providing persons with disabilities, their families and support professional access to equipment through the Tech-Able lending library. From simple to complex - from no-tech to high tech all items were available to those who could benefit. It was a way to make equipment available to those who may have trouble finding what they need and who might have trouble paying for the equipment.

Items that were inaccessible were adapted with help from Bernie Bourdon; a man with a little bit of Santa spirit - who could take most any toy and outfit it with handles and switches and make it possible for all kids to enjoy! 

The Dream Continues Today:

Since Lynn's passing in 1994 Tech-Able has continued to grow and expand by listening to the community. 

The small but dedicated staff and volunteers  of Tech-Able provide thousands of assistive technology services each year throughout the state of Georgia and beyond!

By continually seeking collaborations with like focus - Tech-Able has managed to grow and expand services.
