Device Lending and Demonstration Centers (DLDC)
CFILC’s Device Lending and Demonstration Centers (DLDC) exist to assist Californians with disabilities become more independent through the use of Assistive Technology (AT).
DLDCs provide short-term device loans to community members in need. Borrowers can try out devices prior to purchase, access a backup device while theirs is being repaired, or bridge the gap while waiting for a new device to arrive. All loans are available for up to 30 days unless otherwise arranged. Device lending programs can be a great solution for individuals with disabilities who are unsure whether a device is the right fit before committing to a purchase, who need temporary access during a repair or delivery wait, or who want hands-on experience with a device before pursuing funding.
