Durable Medical Equipment
SAIL's durable medical equipment loan program provides free access to a wide range of assistive devices for individuals in need. With thousands of items available, including wheelchairs, walkers, and other essential equipment, this program ensures that community members can borrow the tools they need to enhance their mobility and independence. By offering this vital resource at no cost, SAIL helps individuals maintain their quality of life while reducing the financial burden often associated with medical equipment.
Assistive Technology
As part of the New York State TRAID program, SAIL offers a variety of assistive technology devices to help individuals with disabilities communicate and engage more effectively. These include pocket talkers for enhanced hearing, iPads and Chromebooks for digital accessibility, and pocket translators for overcoming language barriers.
Recreational Equipment
SAIL offers a variety of recreational equipment through the TRAID program, designed to enhance accessibility and promote outdoor activities for individuals with disabilities. Available items include beach wheelchairs for fun at the shore, wheelchair skis for winter sports enthusiasts, adaptive golf clubs for a day on the green, and hiking backpacks equipped with specialized support for exploring nature.
Early Intervention
Our Early Intervention TRAID program connects young children with disabilities to the adaptive and assistive technology they need to grow, learn, and thrive — from sensory tools to specialized equipment. Our Queensbury Campus also offers a dedicated Early Intervention room that families and providers can ustilize at no-cost.
