Social Isolation is a real thing and has drastically limited social contact in nearly every part of our lives. It affects social support systems for older adults, families, workers, students and at-risk populations.

To help eliminate social isolation, the SC Assistive Technology Program has 2 GrandPads and 6 iPads and iPads minis with FaceTime, Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, Facebook Messenger, Microsoft Teams and if you have a subscription, Sling apps to help people stay connected. You will be able to borrow these for 3 months.

To borrow an iPad with Skype, FaceTime and Zoom apps, 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: iPad with FaceTime, Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, Facebook Messenger, Microsoft Teams and if you have a subscription, Sling apps, case, and charging cord.

If you have any questions, please contact Billfred Leverette at Billfred.leverette@uscme.sc.edu or 803-935-5362.
