The Maryland Assistive Technology Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering assistive technology (AT) services to individuals with disabilities, older adults, and others in need of supportive devices in Maryland. This manual is aligned with the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR), including relevant sections under COMAR 10.09 and regulations established by the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) and the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA). It also ensures compliance with Medicaid waiver programs, such as the Community Pathways, Community Supports, and Family Supports Waivers, as well as applicable federal standards under the Assistive Technology Act of 2004. The manual includes policies and procedures addressing agency licensing and certification, assistive technology assessments, device acquisition and customization, training and support services, staff qualifications and training, participant rights and protections, documentation and billing, emergency procedures, and quality assurance. It emphasizes the importance of person-centered planning to ensure individuals receive the most appropriate assistive technology solutions that enhance their independence and quality of life. This manual serves as a foundational resource for assistive technology providers in Maryland, supporting the delivery of high-quality, compliant services that facilitate greater access, communication, mobility, and community participation for individuals with disabilities.
