Assistive Technology Lending Library

Adaptive equipment can truly make a difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities.  Whether it is a specialized piece of mobility equipment, computer software, or an augmentative communication device, assistive technology helps people with disabilities to participate more fully at home, school and work.

Project Adapt also gratefully accepts donations of adapted equipment that are in good condition and can be “recirculated” in the community through the lending library.

Project Adapt is able to offer its services free of charge thanks to assistance and support from the New York State Commission on Quality of Care and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities, the Technology Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities (TRAID) Project, the NYS Department of Health Early Intervention Program, the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) and the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
