VATS maintains partnerships with disability service organizations to provide statewide access to equipment for demonstration and/or loan.
- We loan out items for 1-4 weeks
- Helpful for short term needs
- Try out assistive technology before you purchase it
Sometimes, a short demonstration or training of an assistive technology device is recommended and can be scheduled at the same time as the loan.
