How to borrow equipment


SC Assistive Technology Program logo

The SC Assistive Technology Program is proud to introduce our most recent member, Billfred Leverette. Billfred will help you borrow devices. You can reach him at 803-935-5362 or billfred.leverette@uscmed.sc.edu .

Our Resource Center features hundreds of devices, from switches to toys to vision aids to tablets with communication apps. A new website is under construction that will feature an upgraded search function to make it even easier.

To borrow a device, go to the SCATP device loan webpage and download the Loan Agreement Form. Fill out the form and return it to us by fax, email, or regular mail. 

For speedy service, make sure you avoid these common mistakes:

  • Include two different phone numbers. 
  • The Borrower’s signature at the bottom of pages 2 and 3. 
  • Write what you want to borrow on the fax cover page.

You can pick up the device from us if you are in Lexington or Richland County. Otherwise we will ship to you. Loans are for 2-4 weeks, and the Borrower is responsible for the device return.  We will be happy to join you by Zoom if you need assistance setting up or using the device. 

We are highlighting one of our new additions, the Xbox Adaptive Controller.  Designed to work with a range of switches, joysticks, and mounts, it allows gamers with limited mobility to play games on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs.  The controller uses standard switch ports for each button, so it will work with your existing switches.  And if you want to try some different switches and mounts, we have many available to borrow.
