Home Accessibility
Changes made to a living space to accommodate the needs of individuals with disabilities or limitations. These modifications can range from simple adjustments like installing grab bars in the bathroom to more complex renovations like widening doorways and building ramps. Home modifications can greatly improve the safety and accessibility of a living space, enabling individuals to live more independently and comfortably.
Assistive Technology
Any device, software, or equipment that helps people with disabilities to perform tasks that would otherwise be difficult or impossible. This technology can enhance communication, mobility, learning, and independent living for individuals with disabilities. Examples of assistive technology include bath aids, tablets, wheelchair ramps, and speech recognition software.
Cognitive Support Technology
Assistive Technology is mainly thought of in terms of devices that help with speech or physical limitations, however it extends beyond that to cognitive limitations. Consider executive function and the inability to remember or recall information, these are imperative to performing daily living skills. Assistive Technology does exist for
improving the independence of those with cognitive differences.

Testimonials
Bettie B.
Lori was instrumental in ensuring that my clients received the products and services that they needed to live a life with the greatest independence and autonomy possible. She creatively problem solved to overcome procedural barriers and communicate the importance of technology to funders. She constantly modified and improved her service delivery strategies in a constantly changing regulatory environment. She was able to explain complex funding challenges in a way that was accessible and actionable for me as a clinician who struggles to understand how to obtain funding for durable medical equipment and assistive technology. I appreciated her insight into helping others get their wants and needs met respectfully and effectively.
LISA J.
Thank you so much for going above and beyond to get the ceiling lift covered under durable medical equipment funds and the approval for widening the patio door for (D) to go outside whenever he wants, independently!
