The Rhode Island Adaptive Equipment Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for the provision of adaptive equipment and assistive technology (AT) services to individuals with disabilities, chronic health conditions, or age-related impairments across the state of Rhode Island. This manual aligns with regulatory requirements set by the Rhode Island Department of Human Services (DHS), the Rhode Island Department of Health (DOH), and the Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS). It also incorporates federal guidelines under the Assistive Technology Act of 1998, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver programs. The manual outlines policies and procedures related to service eligibility, adaptive equipment assessments, device selection, procurement, installation, maintenance, and training on the use of devices. It also includes guidelines for provider qualifications, documentation and reporting standards, client rights, safety standards, and quality assurance practices. Adaptive equipment services are designed to enhance the independence, mobility, and overall quality of life of individuals by providing them with personalized tools and technology to meet their specific functional needs. As both an operational and compliance resource, the Rhode Island Adaptive Equipment Agency Policy Manual ensures that providers meet all applicable state and federal regulations while delivering high-quality, person-centered adaptive equipment services that promote accessibility and inclusion for individuals with disabilities.
