Request a Device Loan
The Tools for Life Network operates comprehensive demonstration services within our Assistive Technology Resource Centers (ATRCs) where individuals can see a broad range of assistive technology devices. Requests for a loan can be made by telephone or email. A mutually convenient time for the loan will be set. Your request may be individually accommodated at one of our offices, may result in a group demonstration at an agency site, or you may be referred to events, trainings or services readily available in your community.
