The Virginia Assistive Technology System cannot directly assist with providing funding for individuals, but there are other resources available to help pay for assistive technology.
- Client of a state disability agency?
If you need assistive technology to function independently, state disability agencies may pay for it. - Have private health insurance?
Some health insurance plans will cover the cost of medical equipment. - On Medicaid?
For some medical conditions, Medicaid will purchase needed assistive technology.
If any of the above apply to you, contact your provider for more information on submitting a claim for coverage.
Assistive Technology Loan Fund Authority (ATLFA)
If you do not qualify for the above resources, you can apply for a loan from the Assistive Technology Loan Fund Authority. The state authority provides loans with longer repayment plans and lower interest rates to help you purchase assistive technology, including vehicles and home modifications.
