Services support individuals and families with accessing equipment, assistive technology, vehicle modifications, and/or home modifications that increases and improves their ability to safely and independently navigate their home, community, daily life and work. This program is designed to serve St. Louis City residents with developmental disabilities who are not on a wait list for Medicaid Waiver funds and are not currently receiving Medicaid Waiver funds. This service is designed for consumers who live in their natural home or live independently with supports in the community. The agency will also facilitate maintenance and repair service as needed.

The agency will ensure that equipment is installed, and appropriate training is provided.
