State Assistive Technology Programs
State Assistive Technology Programs
Every state has at least one assistive technology center that offers a variety of programs for individuals with disabilities or for individuals experiencing age related changes. Each program plays a role in finding the right match for the individual. Demonstration centers are great locations to see, try and learn about devices. Agencies and individuals might consider borrowing a device as an option to try out a device. They often have device reuse programs where you can get refurbished items at a discounted cost.

While they do not sell equipment usually they do often have favorable terms for loans to help you get the items you need and can connect you with vendors like us at AskSAMIE, to get the equipment from.
