TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Assistive technology funding in the United States JO - NeuroRehabilitation A1 - Wallace, Joseph SP - 295 EP - 302 VL - 28 IS - 3 N2 - The funding of assistive technology (AT) in the United States falls within a complex web of traditional and non-traditional funding sources that often create challenging barriers for individuals with disabilities. This article outlines the founding policies that drive the federal and state funding of AT across insurance, education, rehabilitation sectors and beyond. A presentation of specific medical and non-medical funding options is discussed addressing eligibility, types of AT covered and general program characteristics. I conclude with recommendations for the pursuit of AT funding in light of these policies and options.
