Adult Consultation Services

Assistive Technology that Works for You

The need for assistive technology (AT) starts with a barrier. This can be anything that stops you from completing a task or achieving a goal – either at home or at work.

We offer adult AT consultations to help you find tools to remove those barriers. We will work with you and your Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Counselor (if applicable) to explore your options.

Adult Assistive Technology Consultations for Work (with a VR Counselor)

We work with you and your VR Counselor to find AT solutions that focus on your specific job tasks and goals. 

To get started:

  1. Speak to your VR Counselor about a consultation. Authorization is required to begin this process.
  2. Complete our Adult AT Consultation Form. Your VR Counselor may help with this.
  3. We will reach out to schedule an appointment.

You will then work with a qualified AT expert to explore your options. This includes:

  • reviewing your needs, goals and work environment
  • discussing suitable accommodations
  • exploring different AT solutions, including hands-on trials of suggested devices

At the end of your consultation, we will provide you with a full written report. It will outline:

  • all suggested solutions
  • any devices you tried during your consultation
  • your thoughts and feedback on strategies and equipment.

You can use this report to support the next steps in acquiring your AT.

Adult Assistive Technology Consultation Fee

There is a fee for this service. Your VR Counselor may be able to authorize and fund the consultation as part of your employment plan. If not, we will confirm the fee and get authorization from your agency before your appointment.
