THE RESOURCE CENTER 

Housed in our New Castle location, visitors can try hundreds of assistive devices on display and search through thousands of products in catalogs and DVDs that will help them maintain or improve independence and home safety. Come in for a tour! For more information, email resources@esdel.org or call (302) 221-2087.

Assistive Technology Alternative Financing Program 

In collaboration with the state Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, our partnerships with lending institutions can help finance assistive technology for home, work, or even vehicle modifications, with lower interest loans. Counselors help guide you through the process. For more information, email resources@esdel.org or call (302) 221-2087.
