I may be getting way ahead of myself (I frequently do) but with the assistance of my Psychologist and others, it is my hope that I can eventually provide a service to directly assist individuals with a disabilities in the selection, acquisition, or use of an assistive technology device.”   The service could include all of the following possibilities:

• evaluation of the technology needs of the individual, including a functional evaluation in the individual’s customary environment;

• purchasing, leasing, or otherwise providing for the acquisition of assistive technology devices for individuals with disabilities;

• selecting, designing, fitting, customizing, adapting, applying, maintaining, repairing, or replacing of assistive technology devices;

• coordinating and using other therapies, interventions, or services with assistive technology devices, such as those associated with existing education and rehabilitation plans and programs; 

• assistive technology training or technical assistance with assistive technology for an individual with a disability, or, where appropriate, the family of an individual with disabilities;

• training or technical assistance for professionals, employers, or other individuals who provide services to, employ, or otherwise are substantially involved in the major life functions of individuals with disabilities.
