Equipment reutilization activities

SCATP is committed to increasing equipment reutilization activities in our state. A summary of SC AT re-use initiatives is on our web site. Ken Whitley of Key Technologies recently provided us with the following information:

“I wanted to let you know that one great way of “Re-Using” older equipment (whether working or non-working) is to trade it in through the Words+ “TRADE-IN PROGRAM.” Customers may trade in augmentative communication devices made by any manufacturer towards the purchase of a new Words+ device. The device traded-in does not have to be a working device and it does not matter how old it is. The trade-in value of the device may range from $100’s to $1,000’s applicable to the purchase of a new Words+ device.

Trade-in’s may be applied towards the purchase of an Allora, Conversa, Dura-SAM, Freedom Toughbooks, FreedomLites, NetSAM, NetTALK, Say-It! SAM Communicator, Say-It! SAM Tablets, TuffTalker Convertibles, and more.

If you have questions about the Words+ TRADE-IN PROGRAM, contact Ken Whitley at Key Technologies, Inc. toll free at 888-433-5303, email ken@gokeytech.com or visit the Key Technologies web site.”

If other AT vendors have information about trade-in or re-use programs related to your products, please let SCATP know by emailing Janet Jendron at Janet.Jendron@uscmed.sc.edu.
