About Us

DakotaLink is in part, a program of the South Dakota Department of Human Services, Division of Rehabilitation Services administered by Black Hills Special Services Cooperative and funded in part through a grant from the United States Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Community Living under Public Law 108-364, referred to as the Assistive Technology Act of 2004 or the Assistive Technology Act of 1998, as amended.

In 1995, DakotaLink began providing direct services to individuals with disabilities and the elderly. These services include individual assessments, equipment sales, installation and training of assistive technology. This one stop concept has helped DakotaLink evolve in to a statewide organization that has 6 certified rehabilitation technicians located in 4 regional offices. Our offices are located in Rapid City, Aberdeen, Sioux Falls and Brookings. The office in Rapid City is a storefront environment where people can drop in at any time. Appointments do need to be made at the other facilities. DakotaLink provides direct services to 1000 individuals per year and does work with the State Departments of Vocational Rehabilitation which includes the Divisions of Rehabilitation Services and Service to the Blind and Visually Impaired. We have worked with many School Districts throughout the state and have done many projects for the Veterans Administration. Private individuals and businesses utilize our services as well. DakotaLink has relationships with many manufacturers and distributors of Assistive Technology. Through those relationships, we are able to provide a wide variety of assistive devices and in many cases at competitive prices. We have a wide range of used devices for sale including Closed Circuit Televisions for people with low vision and have been operating the State Gadgetry Program, providing aides for daily living, for the last several years. People who may be interested in purchasing an assistive technology device or interested in our other services can reach us at 1-800-645-0673 or atinfo@dakotalink.net
