Solutions from the Statewide Education Loan Pool

The Statewide Education Loan Pool is hosted on AT4ALL.com. The main purpose of the loan pool is to allow members of IFSP and IEP teams to try different pieces of assistive technology (AT) with children/students to see if the AT meets the needs of the children/students. AT Loans from the loan pool are free of charge and will be shipped to and from the borrower. Loan periods are for 60 calendar days.

Kubi Classic Telepresence Robot

The unique advantage of Kubi is that it lets a remote student easily look around remotely with 300 degrees of pan and 90 degrees of tilt to see and interact with teachers, other students, school nurses, coaches, and family members, through remote robotic control during a video call. This provides remote students and teachers with a highly engaging virtual presence in the classroom.
