What is Enabling Technologies Associates, Inc (Enabletech)

Enabletech is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization of volunteer engineers, fabricators, medical and business professionals dedicated to improving the independence of individuals with disabilities and the elderly through the application of technology.

We provide, at no cost to our clients:

  • Systems analysis of capability vs. desired accomplishment

  • Identification of appropriate commercially available assistive technology

  • Design and fabrication of adaptations of existing technologies to individuals

  • Custom design and fabrication of unique products

  • Research and development in the fields of assistive and surgical technologies.


Mission of Enabletech

Our mission is to provide a unique and much needed rehabilitation engineering service to our community that is not available through any other resource.  The services listed above that we provide in the South Carolina/Georgia region would be so expensive on an individual basis that few could afford them.  That is why they do not exist as commercial enterprise.

Our volunteers and associate companies and organizations provide these services free of charge.  Our reward is the satisfaction that we receive in helping those less fortunate and the community.  No members, directors, or officers of Enabletech are paid a salary or benefit materially in any way from our work.  We are supported by public and private donations and grants and in kind materials and support from our associates and volunteers.


History of Enabletech

Enabletech was founded in 2000 in South Carolina by an engineer and program manager retired from a 42 year career at Westinghouse Defense and Electronics in Baltimore, Maryland.  As a charter and still active member of the Volunteers for Medical Engineering, he brings twenty-five years of rehabilitation engineering experience in building and managing the teamwork of volunteer associates.

We are governed by a Board of Directors consisting of respected engineers, physicians, business and professional leaders in South Carolina.
