Device Lending and Demonstration Centers

Ability Tools operates a Device Lending and Demonstration Centers (formerly Device Lending Library) program throughout California. Disabled Resources Center, Inc. is one of the Device Lending Demonstration Centers (DLDCs) in California selected to contract with Ability Tools to provide short-term loans of assistive devices and gadgets that can help you live independently by the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR). Whether your need is temporary, or you would just like to try out some devices before you buy, our Device Lending and Demonstration Center can provide free, short-term loans for up to 30 days of equipment such as portable ramps, AAC devices, magnifiers, computer software, and more. Device Lending and Demonstration Centers can ship most items to borrowers throughout California.

The purpose of the device loan and demonstration program is to let potential AT users try out devices prior to purchase, have access to a backup system when your device is in for repairs, and/or have access to a device while waiting for your device to be delivered.

The purpose of the NATADS Public Access database is to allow individuals the ability to view devices available for loans across the state. NATADS also lets individuals view refurbished, repaired AT equipment or equipment that is available for open-ended loans by the AT Program.

How to Borrow a Device… The device loan program is easy to use. All device loans are for 5 weeks unless otherwise specified.
