Addressing the Assistive Technology and Accessibility Needs of Colbert Consent Decree Members FY 2015

2016

If it is determined that a Class Member with a physical disability requires additional support and Home Accessibility Adaption modifications in a Community Based Setting, the evaluator may request the University of Illinois at Chicago Assistive Technology Unit (UIC-ATU) to determine what assistive technology may be required and to recommend accessibility modifications needed by the Colbert Class Member to maximize their independence as they move into the community (see Section H for Accessible Housing for additional information). As stated in the Consent Decree, IDoA will provide a onetime payment of $5000.00 for allowable expenses necessary to make a Community Based Setting accessible for a Class Member.
