Assistive Technology Reuse

There are a number of items that are in high demand by people who are using the South Carolina Assistive Technology Exchange, and generally by people who contact them for used equipment. People who have these items and are willing to give them away should contact Janet Jendron by email at jjendron[at]usit[dot]net.

People who have these items and would like to sell them, can list them on the Assistive Technology Exchange. Instructions on how to list items that are available or needed are below.

Items in great demand:

• Vehicle wheelchair lifts
• Rollator walkers
• Bariatric rollator walkers
• Bariatric wheel chairs (manual and power)
• Lift chair recliners
• Diapers
• Pediatric strollers
• Tub transfer benches
• Pediatric Tumble Form chairs
• Bath and shower chairs
• Hoyer lifts (electric and manual)
• Power scooters
• Power wheel chairs
• Electric Hospital Beds
• Bath lifts
• Adapted vans

Thanks for your support on our reuse activities! Together we can make a huge impact on our state and in the lives of children and adults who so desperately need these items to live more independent and productive lives!
