(Sec. 2) Sets forth an ATA program of grants to States for purchase of assistive technology (AT) devices and services. Directs the Secretary of Education to make such grants to States to maintain a comprehensive statewide program to maximize the ability of individuals with disabilities and other members of the targeted population to access assistive technology devices and services through State-level activities and State leadership activities. Allows States to opt to use: (1) at least 60 percent of such funds for State-level activities, requiring use for alternative finance systems and device loan programs or, if such required uses are met, allowing use for device reutilization programs and device demonstration programs; and (2) up to 40 percent for State leadership activities, requiring use for public awareness, communication, information dissemination, material distribution, training, and technical assistance programs, while allowing use for interagency coordination and indirect costs. Allows States, as an alternative, to opt to use at least 70 percent for State-level activities and up to 30 percent for State leadership activities, with State discretion as to which activities are supported within those categories. Caps at ten percent the portion of funds that may be used for indirect costs. Prohibits funds from being used as direct payment for an AT device for an individual with a disability. (This grants program, which emphasizes addressing the AT needs of individuals with disabilities, revises and renames the current program of continuity grants for States that received funding for a limited period for technology-related assistance through establishing State administrative systems.)

Revises the ATA program of grants to States for protection and advocacy related to AT, through systems established under the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act. Includes the American Indian Consortium as a recipient of such program grants. Allows such systems to carry over program income generated from the grant amount for two additional fiscal years. Requires such funds to be used for activities that enhance the awareness of individuals with disabilities on AT accessibility and help such individuals acquire, use, or maintain AT or AT services.

Revises ATA administrative requirements.

Revises ATA national activities to direct the Secretary of Education to: (1) provide funds to establish and maintain a National Public Internet Site to provide individuals with disabilities and the general public with technical assistance and information on increased access to AT devices, AT services, and other disability-related resources; and (2) make competitive grants to provide various forms of technical assistance.

Extends through FY 2010 the authorization of appropriations for ATA programs.
