Answer

ICAAT was developed through a collaborative effort between Gallaudet University, the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA), and the American Institutes for Research (AIR). After completion of the development phase, ICAAT has operated under the sole direction of the Hearing Loss Association of America.

Seed funding for the development of ICAAT was provided by the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Technology Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (DHH-RERC), funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), a center within the Administration for Community Living (ACL) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), grant number 90REGE0013. The DHH-RERC was led by Gallaudet University.
