Equipment

Easter Seals Crossroads doesn't have medical equipment available, they operate the Indiana Assistive Technology Act Project, otherwise known as the INDATA Project. The purpose of the INDATA project is two-fold. The first is to get assistive technology into the hands of Hoosiers with disabilities through device demonstrations, device loans, computer recycling and alternative financing. Our equipment library contains over 2,000 adaptive technology items available for loan. The second goal is to provide statewide outreach education opportunities regarding assistive technology capabilities, options and resources. We accomplish these efforts through full day training offered statewide through webcasts and small group presentations.
