State program
Ability Tools
Ability Tools says it is California's Assistive Technology Act program. Its home page names device lending and demonstration centers and assistive technology reuse centers selected for the northern, central, and southern regions: Community Resources for Independent Living, the Central Coast Assistive Technology Center, the Center for Applied Rehabilitation Technology, and Rolling Start.
Nonprofit program
California Assistive Technology Reuse Coalition
The coalition's site says the AT Exchange is a free Ability Tools service for gently used devices, want ads, and borrowing from device lending libraries. It also says reuse centers give donated assistive technology and durable medical equipment at free or low cost.
