Assistive Technology Demonstration and Recycling Sites
Assistive technology demonstration sites allow people with disabilities to discover new technology in the areas of communication, vision and hearing equipment, computer aids, general daily living aids, and more. Recycling sites provide low-cost and exchange equipment programs to make assistive technology more available for people with disabilities. Please note that demonstration equipment may vary from site to site, so it is best to contact the specific program in your area for more information.
