Assistive Technology Loan Program
During the first of June, at our Bogus Creek Western Event Fundraiser and Live Auction, we raised money for a special need. The special need was an Assistive Technology Library. We raised enough to start a library. We are working hard on selecting items we are going to buy and the process we are going to use for lending those items out. We want to buy products that PALS don’t have access to. That’s why we carefully chose the members of the library board: Kristi Pardue, a member of the MDA ALS Clinic, a licensed Speech Therapist and a communication specialist. Anne Kuhlmeier, a licensed Speech Therapist, often works with PALS, runs a communication camp for kids with speech deficits and a communication specialist.
The loan library is now open for business. Please refer to the links, library procedures, borrower's contact, and inventory list. Also, if we don't have the equipment you need click the link, other access for equipment.
If you would like to donate items or money contact Joe Harris by calling 208-884-8216 or email boise@extrahands.com.
