ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT LENDING PROGRAM
Assistive technology devices can open new worlds for people with disabilities.
The Assistive Technology Equipment Lending Program (ATELP) was
established to make it possible for individuals with disabilities to try out
assistive technology devices before purchasing, to substitute for a device in for repair or on order or for other short-term needs.
At this time, a deposit is not required in order to borrow a device.
Who Can Borrow Devices?
Consumers, family members, agency or school representatives, service providers working with individuals with disabilities, AT trainers, evaluators or instructors.
Equipment can be borrowed for two to four weeks and borrowers and the person responsible for liability must complete and sign an agreement form.
SPECIAL NOTE: In order to produce printed information in alternative format, service providers may also make use of a cassette tape duplicating machine, tape recorder, a braille embosser and braille translating software.
Interested persons may come to the DCATRC and utilize this equipment but it cannot be borrowed. You must make your own recordings and provide your own cassette tapes. Because there is no charge for these services, tape duplication is limited to 10 tapes and Braille embossing is limited to 20 sheets.
Staff will also assist you in this process.
