Federal
Funding
- Funding of Assistive Technology to Make Work a Reality: Funding for Work-Related Assistive Technology through Special Education Programs, State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies, Medicaid, Medicare and SSI's Plan for Achieving Self Support (2002)
National Assistive Technology Advocacy Project, A Project of Neighborhood Legal
Services, Inc. provides this guide as one of a series of articles written
for benefits' specialists employed by Benefits Planning, Assistance and Outreach
(BPA&O;) projects and attorneys and advocates employed by Protection and
Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security(PABSS) programs. The authors are
James R. Sheldon, Jr. and Ronald M. Hager, attorneys with Neighborhood Legal
Services, Inc. (NLS) of Buffalo, New York.
- Funding Assistive Technology to Make Work a Reality: A Review of Funding Possibilities Under: Special Education Programs, State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies, Medicaid, Medicare, and SSI's Plan for Achieving Self Support-Case Scenario (2002)
National Assistive Technology Advocacy Project, A Project of Neighborhood Legal
Services, Inc. The authors provide a
case scenario in which the individual with the disability needs assistive technology
(AT) to receive training, leave the home, travel to work, and perform work. In order
to touch on several funding sources for children and adults, we have made the
individual an older teen who can be expected to have certain needs as a young adult.
Although the hypothetical individual is a person who is expected to go on to college,
AT may be equally useful to the individual who will go straight from a public school
program to work or a non-college training program.
