Services include device demonstration, device loan, assistive technology exchange, assistive technology reuse, training, and collaboration. Devices include items for ADLs, switches, adapted keyboards and mice, adapted toys, communication devices, adapted phones, and devices and software for reading and writing. Assistive technology resources for funding will also be shared.
