State Funding Expansion FAAST already receives funding from the Florida Department of Education and the Rehabilitation Services Administration, signaling ongoing budget cycles for assistive technology programs. This creates opportunities to compete for state-backed AT contracts with schools, agencies, and service providers. Propose grant-aligned solutions, program implementation support, and outcomes reporting to meet public funding requirements.

Training Services FAAST focuses on trainings and outreach, indicating demand for expanded curricula and professional development in assistive technology. Opportunities exist to supply e-learning platforms, content development, LMS integration, and accessibility training for educators, therapists, and service providers. Partner with universities or vocational programs to broaden reach and credibility.
