Pass it On Center

While listening to my incredible backlog of podcasts I listened to one from way back on August from Assistive Technology Update.  The August 17 podcast featured an interview with Carolyn Phillips & Liz Persaud of Passitoncenter.org.  The Pass it on Center helps people around the country set up reuse programs for Assistive Technology and Durable Medical Equipment (DME).  One of the best parts of their website is the ability to search for a Reuse center in your area - Find Reuse Locations.  I know personally several of my students have been able to Reuse equipment, for short term issues.  It's a great resource for any student or adult with disabilities
