FYI,
Assistive Technology Alternative Financing Program Notice 
Inviting Applications for New Awards for Fiscal Year 2012

Purpose of Program: Many individuals with disabilities do not 
have the private financial resources to purchase the assistive 
technology (AT) they need..  In addition, programs such as 
Medicaid, Medicare, and vocational rehabilitation cannot meet the 
growing demand for AT.  Financial loan services, such as 
alternative financing programs (AFPs), offer individuals with 
disabilities affordable options that can significantly enhance 
their access to AT.  These programs offer alternatives to the 
traditional payment options of public assistance and 
out-of-pocket financing and maximize independence and 
participation in society by individuals with disabilities through 
the acquisition of AT.
