COVID-19 Sucks

While we all go through this unprecedented time in our history, we all have to do our part to combat the spread of this jerk of a virus by practicing social distancing or quarantining in our homes. But that doesn't mean we can't connect and continue to support each other in whatever way we can.

Like everybody else, we are doing our parts by working from home, but we also wanted to try and help our clients and the community at large by doing SOMETHING that might help us stay connected and not feel overwhelmed at the constant stream of updates and news about the virus on a daily basis.

That's why we have decided to put together a weekly virtual meetings for our clients and mailing list members. There's no agenda and no plan, it's just an open platform to come and hang out, socialize, ask questions, give advice, vent, rant or offer support to each other.

We're calling it the Canadian Assistive Technology Anti-Gloom Zoom Room.

We will be sending out all the relevant information such as date and time and Zoom Room link to our email subscribers, so if you aren't already on our mailing list, just sign up to our email list here. or farther down at the bottom of this very page.

We also have started a COVID-19 Resources for the Disability Community page that we will be updating regularly. If you know of anything that we can add for people to be aware of, email rob@canasstech.com.

See you there! Stay safe and remember we are all in this together!

1 Hour Free Training

You likely have questions and we’re here to answer them for you. Sometimes we don’t have a product that will meet the needs of a specific situation but that’s OK because our team has seen and knows about far more assistive technology than we actually sell ourselves. We are more than happy to help direct you to a solution even if it’s not one we handle. Our number one concern is that the customer’s needs get met. Assistive Technology can be a major purchase for most people, and we understand in those cases that every penny can count. That's why we strive to be the company to beat when it comes to our pricing, and we are proud to offer a price matching policy. Simply provide us with an advertisement, flyer, or quote with a lower price than our current pricing, and we will match it, guaranteed! It’s important that the customers we serve are able to use their new purchases as quickly as possible, which is why we offer 1 hour of FREE remote training* for every single product we sell. We will make sure it’s set-up, configured, and you have at least a fundamental understanding of the basics on how to use it. And, of course, for those who feel the need or desire to continue with training, we have additional training packages available!

Many of our devices, and in particular our Low Vision aids, are covered by a 30 day return policy. There is no point in being stuck with a device that isn’t going to meet your needs long term. Purchase a product with this guarantee and you are able to return it in its original packaging within 30 days for a full refund. Look for the 30 Day Money Back Guarantee stamp on products that are eligible. We continue to offer toll-free phone support for any product we sell, because we all know that complicated hardware and software doesn't always do what it should. We also work with our service partner Chaos Technical Services to ensure the fastest turn around possible on repairs for many of our product lines. If CTS can’t repair a device we will pay to ship it to the nearest repair centre while the product is under warranty, so you have absolute assurance that you won’t be out of pocket if something goes wrong. Assistive Technology devices are highly specialized pieces of equipment, and finding the right one that will work with your particular set of challenges can be tricky. It's important that the device you choose is the right fit for you and in order to help ensure this we provide a pool of Demo Equipment that is available for loan through our unique Loan Program.
