Loan Library

About Our Loan Library

Colorado’s statewide loan library is a tremendous resource for children receiving Part C early intervention services. Through the loan library, assistive technology items can be trialed to determine if they are the best fit for a child and their family. Early intervention AT consultants can provide access to the loan library for EI providers within their CCB program.

We ask borrowers to complete a number of surveys in the course of your loan from the loan library. We recognize this adds additional time however, it is necessary for us to collect this data in order to receive funds to continue to operate the loan library.

To view a list of all available loan library items, go to our AT Loan Library online catalog (new tab).

The Alexandria Loan Library catalog details all the inventory currently available in the Loan Library. Alexandria is searchable by anyone (teachers, caregivers, family members, related service professionals). It is a great resource of information including descriptions and features of devices, purchase price, and a picture of the item(s). AT service providers can direct AT stakeholders/clientele/consumers to Alexandria in order to preview potential AT solutions. All requests for equipment must come from the designated Early Intervention AT Consultant.

For loan library questions or item checkout-related issues contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Loan Library

Equipment in the loan library is available for infants, toddlers, and children in the public school system. Anyone (i.e., SWAAAC members, teachers, parents…) can view the online catalog from the SWAAAC website. However, equipment must be requested and ordered by a SWAAAC Team Coordinator or designated Early Intervention Consultant.

The loan library is funded primarily by the Colorado Department of Education to provide equipment for children in Colorado public schools. Early Intervention also contributes to the purchasing of equipment for children birth to three.

In addition, limiting access to SWAAAC Team Coordinators and Early Intervention AT Consultants is critical to the management of the loan library in designation of accountability for loaned materials.
