AT Access Sites provide device demonstrations

Each of the five regional AT Access Sites provide device demonstrations by appointment. After you identify the concerns or barriers you want to address, experienced ATK staff will show you devices that might be right for your needs. Together you will examine the various features of each device and identify the features that are most important to you. Once you make a decision, ATK staff can refer you to local or state vendors and help you identify funding resources.

See and Try a Device

ATK has devices to demonstrate in the areas of vision, hearing, speech communication, computer access, daily living tasks, mobility, vehicle modifications, environmental modifications, recreation and sports, and learning, organization and memory. Regional AT Access Sites have different inventory so devices may need to be transferred to your regional AT Access Site for your demonstration. Please schedule demonstrations in advance so the right devices are available. To schedule a demonstration, call toll-free: 1-800-526-3648.

Borrow a Device - Short Term Loan

ATK has equipment for short-term loan so people with disabilities or health conditions, service providers, employers, educators and others can determine if a device meets their needs. Equipment can be borrowed from the ATK Equipment Loan System for up to four weeks. A smaller inventory of devices is available from the regional AT Access Sites. The program has limited funding for equipment purchases and shipping. You can help ATK serve more people by picking up a device whenever possible or by making a contribution toward shipping and/or acquisition of new inventory.
