Who CReATE Serves:
Services are provided to people with disabilities throughout the state of Utah. CReATE will accept consumers regardless of race, national origin, religion, geographic location within the state of Utah, age, sex, disability, political affiliation, or belief. No person shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination by CReATE. The CReATE staff reserves the right to deny services to any consumer when the severity of the disability or complexity of the technology needs of the individual is beyond the scope and training of the CReATE staff. CReATE device transfer services are limited to refurbished devices in the current inventory.

Transferring Device Ownership:
CReATE will not loan equipment. The ownership of the device will be transferred from the CReATE Program to the individual acquiring the AT device. CReATE’s intent is to transfer AT devices to individuals and therefore the devices are not for resale.

Devices are not sold but a service fee is charged based on the work performed on the chair so that it will meet manufacturer specifications.
