Assistive Technology Loans can be used to purchase or modify devices and equipment that enhance quality of life for people with disabilities. Loans are available for accessible vehicles, hearing aids, prostheses, home modifications and more. Eligibility, loan uses and available partnerships may vary by community.
Many communities have assistive technology programs, disability advocacy groups or hospital resource coordinators who can help identify the right equipment and connect you to additional resources. Ask your care team or local disability organization what's available near you.
