Assistive Technology Services
Assistive Technology has remarkable power to bridge gaps for people with disabilities. LiveLife Therapy Solutions, Inc. provides a wide range of assistive technology (AT) services related to Environmental Controls, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), Safety, Mobility, and Home Modification Needs. We do both assessment and training in a person’s own environment such as their home, work, school, or community. We deliver customized services with a person-centered focus. AT is our passion.
LiveLife Therapy Solutions believes there are three components to effective utilization of AT:
Effective Assessment * Proper Set Up * Thorough Training
An NIH study in 1993 showed that 30% of assistive technology equipment is completely abandoned. LLTS conducts follow-up surveys at six months and 12 months, and nearly 100% of the people for whom we complete assessments, set up, and training are still using the equipment we recommended. All three components are critical.
Obtaining Services
We provide services through a variety of programs in Minnesota including:
- Technology for HOME grant
- Home and community-based service waivers
- Various other funding sources as well as private pay
Who can benefit from AT
More people than you might think. LiveLife Therapy Solutions provides services for an incredibly diverse range of people. Needs can range from very complex, such as person with a high level spinal cord injury needing control of their home; to much simpler things, such as the needs many of us have as we get older.
Expert Team
People make the difference. Our team of Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Speech Therapists, and certified Assistive Technology Professionals (ATP’s) are experts in their field. They have a deep knowledge of assistive technology solutions, and broad experience applying those solutions.
What is AT
Assistive Technology (AT) is defined by the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) as any item, piece of equipment, software program, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of a person with disabilities. The important thing about AT is not just finding a device that will work, but finding the right device that will be used on an ongoing basis. We excel at working with people to find the right solution for them, and providing the necessary training so they can use that solution successfully.
