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.
Services
Project Adapt is Enable’s assistive technology lending library. The library’s large inventory can help people with all types of disabilities. Specialized computer software can help in doing homework or completing tasks at work. Wheelchairs and walkers allow users the independence to move freely. The use of augmentative communication devices gives individuals with speech difficulties the confidence to carry on conversations with their family and friends.
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.
