The South Dakota Assistive Technology Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering assistive technology (AT) services and supports to individuals with disabilities, chronic conditions, and age-related limitations across South Dakota. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the South Dakota Department of Human Services (DHS), including the Division of Developmental Disabilities and Division of Rehabilitation Services, and complies with applicable Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver programs. It also ensures adherence to the federal Assistive Technology Act of 2004 and relevant state and federal funding guidelines. The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency approval and oversight, participant eligibility and assessment, AT evaluations, equipment selection and customization, procurement, delivery and installation, training and user support, maintenance and repairs, staff qualifications and continuing education, participant rights and protections, documentation and billing, data privacy and security, incident management, and quality assurance. It emphasizes person-centered service delivery to promote independence, communication, mobility, and participation in daily life, work, and community activities. This manual serves as a foundational resource for assistive technology providers in South Dakota, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant, and effective services that empower individuals to live more independently and access the tools they need to thrive.
