Like all the numerous devices and services available from NMTAP, the Toothbrush Pillow can be tried by the user before committing to its use.

It is a statewide program designed to increase knowledge of, access to, and acquisition of assistive or adaptive technology for anyone with any disability, anywhere in the state, of any age.
