Provider and Disability Advocate:

Do you know an individual with a disability who needs assistive technology?
If so, I want to introduce you to the Washington Access Fund's pilot
"Individual Development Account"

shingtonaccessfund.org/ida_program/ida_program.php> (IDA) program. The IDA
is a matched savings account that helps people with disabilities earn a
grant of up to $4,000 for any sort of assistive technology, including, but
not limited to: 

*	Description: Image removed by sender. Piggy Bankhearing aids or

households (which is defined as

family median income) save and earn match money to go towards assistive
technology (we also have an IDA program for business equipment!). However
much the individual saves, our program will match it dollar for dollar (up
to $4,000), thanks to a generous grant from the

Foundation. If the individual saves the maximum amount, they will have a
total of $8,000 to go towards assistive technology purchases. Participants
must save for a minimum of six months before they will be eligible to use
the funds and they have up to three years to spend it.
