Assistive Technology is any technology used to help an individual perform a task that they would not be able to otherwise perform without the technology. This technology can include anything from low tech options (pencil grips, printed visuals, communication boards, etc.) to high tech options (communication devices, software, apps, mobility devices like wheelchairs, etc). Assistive Technology must be considered for all individuals with disabilities regardless of their disability identification. 

Assistive Technology can be funded in a variety of ways, such as private insurance, waiver services, and grant funding. The Disability Law Center of Virginia has outlined some funding opportunities for Adults and for Children.
