What is Technology for HOME?
Technology for HOME (T4H) offers a team approach to person centered assistive technology (AT) consultation and technical assistance to help individuals with disabilities live more independently. People who want to stay home or move home direct the outcome; we assist with the technology resources. The AT consultant will provide possible solutions and communicate with the county to develop a plan.
What does Technology for HOME offer?
Consult with the person
Our person-centered team will meet with the person at locations of their choice to assess their needs.
Connect to resources
The AT team will connect with the person their school, their family, and across their lives to resources that will help them live in their own homes more independently.
Conduct follow-up services
Technology for HOME will follow-up with the person to ensure the resources resolved any issues that were found during consultation.
This program provides services for AT but not funding for the AT equipment; that plan will be outlined and communicated clearly with the person and county as a team develops a plan.
