About Device Demonstrations and Short Term Loans

STAR is in the process of developing device demonstration programs with community-based organizations through subcontracts.

Each device demonstration program will maintain a wide variety of cross-disability AT available for demonstration purposes, maintain a reasonable amount of AT for short-term lending and have significant staff expertise in AT.
Each will be located in an accessible facility, and either have a toll-free number or will utilize referrals through the toll-free number.
Each location will be expected to provide assistive technology device demonstrations/loans to individuals with disabilities, their families and caregivers, professionals, and others to increase awareness, support informed decision-making regarding device selection, and assist in effective device usage.
Device demonstrations will include individual and group exploration of a range of devices to increase awareness, individual consultations designed to support device trials and aid in appropriate device selection, and individual and group training on a particular device to support appropriate usage.

These programs are currently in the development process. Please visit this webpage frequently for updates and news about this STAR project.
