The Indiana Adaptive Equipment Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for the provision, use, and management of assistive devices and adaptive equipment for individuals with disabilities in Indiana. This manual aligns with Indiana Code § 24-5-20-2, 460 IAC 14-19-7, and Medicaid regulations to ensure full compliance with state and federal requirements. It includes policies on:
- Definition and scope of assistive devices, including manual and motorized wheelchairs, hearing aids, visual and audible signal systems, and other aids that enhance mobility, communication, and independence.
- Allowed modifications for vehicles, such as wheelchair tie-downs, lifts, hand controls, and adaptive steering systems.
- Person-centered planning and case management for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, emphasizing informed choice and community integration.
- Accessibility requirements for public facilities and services, including transportation accommodations for individuals with disabilities.
- Provision of durable medical equipment and supplies through Medicaid, including criteria for prior authorization and replacement of lost or damaged items.
- Guidelines for customized equipment, defining it as uniquely constructed or substantially modified to meet specific individual needs.
The policy manual serves as a guide for state agencies, service providers, and individuals with disabilities to understand their rights, available resources, and processes for obtaining and maintaining adaptive equipment. It supports the state's commitment to promoting independence, community integration, and quality of life for individuals with disabilities while adhering to Indiana's regulatory framework for assistive technology and adaptive equipment.
