ICF Assistive Technology

ICF Assistive Technology

Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professionals (QIDPs) who support people living in Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs) now have access to the DODD Rapid Response System, which enables them to connect with Assistive Technology vendors across the state, to communicate individual needs that might be met through technology. This project will allow ICFs access to funds to purchase Assistive Technology for the people who live there, based on connections made in the Rapid Response System, or through other consults with Supportive Technology professionals. This funding is specific to the individual assistive-technology needs of people who reside in ICFs.
• Use of the Rapid Response System is preferred. However, DODD will consider applications based on the recommendations of qualified consultants. In the event the Rapid Response system is not used, the name, credentials, and resume of the qualified consultant who determined the appropriate device/technology to support the individual should be provided along with the application. This documentation should demonstrate how the following criteria, as outlined in the “Ohio Administrative Code Rule 5123-9-12 | Home and community-based services waivers - assistive technology under the individual options, level one, and self-empowered life funding waivers” (https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-administrative-code/rule-5123-9-12) are met.
