SDS funding covers a broad range of assistive technology that helps a person participate in daily life. It isn’t limited to one category; you can get devices for communication, mobility, safety, daily living tasks, computer access, and other adaptive equipment tailored to your needs and goals. The funding decision relies on how the tool supports the individual’s plan and independence, so choices can include hardware and software that address specific barriers. This broad approach includes things like augmentative communication devices, adapted keyboards and switches, safety monitoring tools, and equipment that aids cooking, grooming, or wheelchair seating. The other options are too narrow, focusing only on hospital-grade gear, a single type of device, or only software, so the broad range described here best reflects what SDS can fund.
