This article highlights the need for and impact of loan financing programs for the acquisition of assistive technology. It provides a historical presentation of the origins of credit financing for people with disabilities, with particular attention to assistive technology. A policy review of assistive technology loan financing is offered, culminating in the Title III funding of the Assistive Technology Acts. The article concludes with key features of a successful program and implications for the future of credit financing in the lives of persons with disabilities.
