Community Assistive Technology Lending Library

Our Community AT Lending Library gives our community members access AT devices that they want to see or borrow. All equipment housed at Independence Now will be sanitized after viewing or borrowing by a consumer. We can also provide device demonstrations in-person or virtually. Consumers can pick up device loans or they could be shipped to their residence.

If you would like to reserve this keyboard, or have any other questions about our lending library, contact Denise Sosbe, Employment & Assistive Technology Coordinator, at 240-898-2188 or dsosbe@innow.org.

Products in our AT Lending Library have been purchased with grant money from the Maryland Technology Assistance Program (MDTAP).
