The Solution Outreach Center at OCCK assists children and adults with disabilities to participate more independently within their environment through assistive technology.   By modifying items in your home, school, or workplace, you can accomplish daily living tasks, participate in your education or recreation activities, and maintain your employment.

Equipment Loan Program

The Solution Outreach Center operates the Statewide Equipment Loan System for the Assistive Technology for Kansans (ATK) Project, which has equipment for short-term loan so people with disabilities or health conditions, service providers, employers, educators, and others can determine if a device meets their needs.

Equipment can be borrowed from the ATK Equipment Loan System for up to four weeks.  A small inventory of devices is available from the regional AT Access Sites. The “try before you buy” concept allows individuals the opportunity to try a variety of devices to make sure they will meet their needs prior to purchasing the device.

Kansas Equipment Exchange

Kansas Adult Medical Services and the Assistive Technology for Kansans (ATK) Project are working together to operate a statewide Durable Medical Equipment (DME) reuse program. Kansas Equipment Exchange (KEE) is designed to quickly move DME that is not being used and is still in good shape (or could be returned to good shape) to Kansans who need equipment. Through KEE, eligible Kansans can get quality refurbished DME at no charge.

As one of the five regional Assistive Technology Access Sites overseeing this activity, the Solution Outreach Center works with individuals and organizations to make these exchanges possible.

KEE also accepts donated equipment and will pick it up for you!
