The South Carolina Assistive Technology Exchange

SCATP is excited to announce a new an online recycling database, The
South Carolina Assistive Technology Exchange, to help citizens with
disabilities and older people with functional limitations find
affordable assistive technology devices and equipment.

All you need to do, is to go to http://www.scatpexchange.net/, click
"I've read and accept the terms.." and go to the next page. Click
"register" and it should be easy from there.
You can register even if you don't have items to sell or give or
find. You'll get a password and be in the system.

If you don't have email, you can call SCATP to have your account
information entered for you. Call Janet Jendron at 803 935-5273.
Those with devices they no longer need or vendors with returned or
overstocked equipment can list all available devices for use in
education, employment, and community living environments, and connect
with the consumers interested in finding these resources.

If your agency has equipment that no one is using, feel free to list
that equipment in the SC AT Exchange. You may restrict who you will
sell/donate to (e.g., only people in Greenville County or only people
with XYZ condition) when you list the device in the SC AT Exchange.

Thanks for your help as we start a program that will make a
difference to South Carolinians who need AT!

It's a shame that more states don't have programs established like this. Maybe it will catch on.
