Assistive Technology Lending Library
About AT Lending Library
Our AT Lending Library works just like a public library; but instead of books, you can check out assistive technology!
This is a great way to "try before you buy." You can test if the devices fits your needs before choosing whether to buy it directly from the provider.
We can also loan equipment for a short-term need, like an injury or recovery after surgery. Items include knee scooters, manual wheelchairs, motorized scooters, power wheelchairs and aids to daily living.
To find assistive technology devices that are available to check out, visit our AT4ALL database or give us a call at 1-800-524-5152.
Cost for Loaning Devices
A majority of our demo library devices are free to loan out. Others have a small monthly fee to rent as outlined on our Cost of Services page.

Demo Days
UATP's labs are open on the first Tuesday of each month from 10am-2pm to allow visitors to take a tour and try out devices without having to make an appointment. We'd love to see you stop by!
