Accessibility & Assistive Systems:

Assistive systems include adaptive devices and integrated solutions designed to support accessibility and functionality within built environments. These systems may include environmental controls, accessibility hardware, and other code-compliant features that enhance usability and support regulatory requirements in commercial, institutional, and healthcare settings.

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

• Functional accessibility requirements
• Environmental and safety risks
• Code and program compliance needs
• Scope of construction and remediation work

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

Assistive Technology (AT) includes adaptive devices and environmental control systems that support mobility, safety, and independence. ECD integrates AT solutions into construction projects where appropriate, including:

• Environmental control systems (lighting, doors, communication, etc.)
• Smart home accessibility features
• Adaptive fixtures and hardware

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