Narrative

The Short-Term Device Loan Program allows you to borrow equipment, free of charge, from the inventory of the Assistive Technology Regional Centers (ATRCs). You can search the inventory online to see what is available.

Since this inventory involves equipment and products from two Assistive Technology Regional Centers (ATRCs) in different parts of Massachusetts, some equipment that you choose may not be available at your local ATRC. The  ATRC staff will contact you to discuss options.

Device loans are useful if you are thinking of buying equipment and want to “test drive” a product. You may need a loaner while your equipment is out for repair. You may be a teacher or employer seeking an equipment trial. You may need a device for a temporary disability.

The Long Term Device Loan Program provides loans of assistive technology (AT) devices to disabled residents of Massachusetts living in households with incomes under 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.  These assistive technology devices must have a total cost of under $500 (including all shipping, taxes and other necessary costs), must be reusable, and may not be customized.
