DEVICE LOAN LIBRARY
A wide variety of assistive technology devices are available to borrow from our library. Items that are currently available are listed below. In order to borrow a device, a request form must be completed and submitted to AT Ohio. No devices will be released until the form is processed. AT Ohio will arrange for shipping to borrowers and for return upon the end of the borrowing period. A note about the links: Where possible, links to the manufacturer were included. In some cases, links to distributors are included instead. These links provide further information about the company or distributor where these items can be purchased. You can also find additional information to assist you in deciding whether or not a particular item is appropriate for you to borrow. You can always contact AT Ohio with any questions you may have. Appropriate cables and some accessories are included with each device.
