Summary of Changes

Added to Process section:

  1. Assistive Technology bids are only good for 30 days, so VR needs to meet with the client as soon as possible upon receiving the report to review the results and discuss the critical case questions.
  2. Added details on the Easterseals loan process to include: An individual can choose to go through their personal bank for loan eligibility. If they are denied, they will need to apply to the Easterseals loan program because this program is designed to assist individuals with impairments to qualify for lower interest rate loans and is also more likely to approve a loan than a traditional bank. The Easterseals loan committee meets every week resulting in timely decisions on loan applications. The reports from both ATP and AgrAbility can be helpful in the loan process as they explain the need for the assistive technology, as well as the cost estimates and could expedite the determination. The client can share all, part or none of the assistive technology report(s) with the loan committee.
