Short Term Device Loan
Short-term device loans are available for 35 days. When individuals with disabilities, their families, and qualified professionals are able to borrow AT devices and assess them in the individual's normal environments, they are then better able to determine if the devices meet their needs or the needs of individuals with disabilities they are serving. They are then able to make informed choices about what device to purchase or whether to purchase a device at all. The program works with agencies that provide assistive technology device loans to develop a system of mutual referral so consumers can find the agency most appropriate to meet their equipment loan needs.
Can I suggest equipment to add to the device loan library?
YES! Please complete this Equipment Request Form to make a recommendation. We review requests monthly and may or may not acquire the item based on cost, demand, and our ability to obtain the tool.
