Easterseals is always trying to improve user experience and posistive outcomes within all service lines, please take a moment to fill out our very brief (2 min) survey.
Individuals who are 22 or younger must not have an educational goal that would make them eligible to receive assistive technology services through their school department.
In addition, individuals must not be eligible to receive assistive technology services from other Executive Office of Health and Human Services agencies, such as the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Mental Retardation or the Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
The needs of all eligible individuals will be assessed. Proof of financial need may be required before equipment and training are provided. Some individuals may be required to pay for recommended equipment.
