Here are our free resources:
1) Reuse
We take in used medical equipment, sanitize, and then give the items to people in need. This equipment includes wheelchairs, walkers, rollators, canes, bedside commodes, and shower benches, and more. There is no fee for this. Looking for equipment? Contact Alli Upchurch at 803-935-5273 or alli.upchurch@uscmed.sc.edu .
You can also connect with people giving away or selling equipment through our AT Exchange program. Just go to: https://scatpexchange.net/ to see the list of equipment and to sign up to receive equipment.
2) Device Demonstrations
We are now doing demonstrations via Zoom. We will be happy to show equipment and demonstrate how they are used. Demonstrations can be for one person or more and are very informal. After the demonstration, you can borrow the equipment you viewed.
3) Device Loan
We loan out aids for daily living, communication devices, vision, and hearing devices (not hearing aids), adapted toys, and adapted computer equipment. To borrow a device, go to the SCATP device loan webpage and download the Loan Agreement Form: https://scatp.med.sc.edu/services/device-loans/ . Fill out the form and return to us. We need two different phone numbers. Please be sure and sign page 2 & 3. You can fax, scan and email, or mail to us. On the Fax cover page write what you want to borrow. The loan and shipping to the borrower is free. The borrow is required to pay return shipping and insurance.
4) Training
Just contact Carol Page at 803-935-5301 or carol.page@uscmed.sc.edu to discuss what topics you are interested in. We are now providing trainings via Zoom. Common topics include how to find and use a communication device, types of vision and hearing equipment, computer access, adapted toys, and aids for daily living. We also do an introduction training to all our services. There is no fee for this.
