AT can range from low-tech items such as grab bars and magnifiers to high-tech communication systems, mobility aids, and environmental control devices.

ECD coordinates professional accessibility and environmental assessments through a statewide network of licensed clinicians and specialists to determine:

• Functional accessibility requirements

These assessments support projects funded through DHS,, Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), and other public or healthcare programs, and also guide privately funded accessibility projects.

All AT-related work is coordinated with licensed professionals and installed as part of a complete construction solution.
