[Promotion-technology] Technology from the State on Loan?

[Linda]

I am just curious if anyone has heard of any offices for the blind that loan 
out a product to a blind person just to see if that product would be helpful 
to them.  I am one of those senior citizens who is living in an unfamiliar 
area, and think the Trekker Breeze would be very helpful to me.  I would 
have a human guide walk my routes with me so I can record them, and then 
would have much more confidence walking them alone.  Sometimes if something 
distracts me I might forget if I have already crossed a street or is it 
still coming up.

Has anyone found agencies resistant to the new technology?
