- -------
-
- There are many mail-order catalog stores for adaptive equipment,
- some of which may have walk-in stores.
-
- Locally speaking (Denver, Colorado area):
-
- You can go to a store in Englewood in person and obtain their
- catalog and look at their merchandise:
-
- Adco's Assistive Communication Center
-
- I got a mailing from them recently but can't find it right now.
- They are in the Dry Creek Business Park and you can call them at
- 290-6227 voice/tdd locally for directions and details.
-
- On a national level,
-
- Try the following:
-
- HARC MERCANTILE, LTD.
- P.O. BOX 3055
- Kalamazoo, MI 49003-3055
-
- Harris Communications
- 6541 City West Parkway

- (they have a variety of catalogs--books, assistive devices for
- the hard of hearing, and assistive devices for the Deaf and hard of
- hearing (apparently two separate catalogs for the latter two)
-
- ... The last thing I saw was this Big Blue Wave!
