Louisiana's Assistive Device Loan Program
Are you in need of assistive technology equipment but not sure where to find it? Well look no further! I found a great program that offers individuals with disabilities the opportunity to borrow a variety of assistive technology equipment. The Louisiana Assistive Technology Access Network (LATAN) now has a Device Loan Program for individuals with disabilities. Through the Device Loan Program individuals may borrow devices from LATAN for a period of thirty-five (35) days. Dependent upon the type and value of the device borrowed a fee may be charged in order to borrow the item. There is also a possibility of being placed on a waiting list to borrow a needed device; however individuals are encouraged to contact the program representatives to ensure the availability of devices needed. Devices that are available through the loan program include:
- Communication Devices
- Laptops with various types of software and vision aids
- Rollator Walkers
- Wheelchairs
- Computer adaptations
- Eye gaze systems
- Environmental control units
- Portable Ramps
