Equipment Exchange Programs

| May 2013

For those of you with adaptive equipment sitting idle for whatever reason—either your child has outgrown it or your facility no longer needs it—there are dozens of non-profit organizations that are eager to take it, refurbish it, and put it to good use.

These agencies and programs offer opportunities to loan, borrow, or exchange AT devices and equipment via web-based information exchange.

These programs may not have a physical street location where they store/re-furbish used adaptive equipment. For organizations that accept, re-furbish, and then give or loan used equipment, refer to this web page: Donate Your Used Equipment

If you know an organization not listed, or if you have feedback on those recommended on this resource, please let us know.
