NMTAP has devices/software that can be borrowed on a short term basis for individuals with disabilities through the Device Loan Program.

The Device Loan library is designed for individuals with disabilities and professionals assisting them, to provide an opportunity to borrow equipment from the Device Loan Program. Device loans can serve as a trial of equipment prior to purchasing, a temporary replacement of a device in repair, or a short term accommodation allowing independent completion of activities in daily school, work, or home life.

The Device Loan Bank is housed at the main office in Albuquerque. We serve therapists, school districts, local education agencies, and rehabilitation and private organizations throughout New Mexico. We provide access to AT for all individuals with any disability, of any age, in any area of the state of New Mexico.
