1 in 14 Floridians has a disability. By using AT Bay, you could benefit one of them directly. 

AT Bay is a new website where people can buy, sell, or give away assistive technology. Do you have a used AT item in storage that could really help someone with a disability? It could be anything from a wheelchair, hospital bed, or stair lift, to a custom mini-van, Braille machine, or software that reads computer screens out loud.If so, just post a classified ad on AT Bay. Include a digital photo in you have one. And don’t worry about cost. AT Bay is a free service. It only takes a few minutes to post an ad. And if you’re someone who’s looking for a special kind of assistive technology, check out AT Bay. You could find just what you need at a bargain price—even for free.

Recycle Your AT
For many people with disabilities, assistive technology (AT) is an essential
support to daily living. A person may depend on a wheelchair, walker,
special computer keyboard, speech generating device or other AT device at
home, at school or at work. Finding ways to make AT more available is
something with which few could argue. Reuse of AT is emerging as one of the ways to make AT more available.
