Technology Lending Center was able to loan an Assistive Listening Device to a school district in order to conduct a trial of effectiveness for a student with a hearing impairment. The technology was successful and the school was able to borrow the device until the purchase was completed and the device was installed in the classroom. This ensured the student would be supported throughout the learning experience.
