The South Carolina Assistive Technology Exchange is an online equipment reutilization database that helps citizens with disabilities and older people with functional limitations find affordable assistive technology devices and equipment. The South Carolina Assistive Technology Program (SCATP) does not profit from the sale of listed devices. Those with devices they no longer need, agencies with equipment no longer being used, or vendors with returned or overstocked equipment can list all available devices for use in education, employment, and community living environments, and connect with the consumers interested in finding these resources. SCATP often helps arrange transportation of equipment between those who need it and those who have it to give away or sell at a reduced price.

Free downloads will be available whenever new US currency designs are introduced.
