Assistive Technology Alternative Financing Program Notice Inviting 
Applications for New Awards for Fiscal Year 2012

/Purpose of Program:/ Many individuals with disabilities do not have the 
private financial resources to purchase the assistive technology (AT) 
they need. In addition, programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, and 
vocational rehabilitation cannot meet the growing demand for AT. 
Financial loan services, such as alternative financing programs (AFPs), 
offer individuals with disabilities affordable options that can 
significantly enhance their access to AT. These programs offer 
alternatives to the traditional payment options of public assistance and 
out-of-pocket financing and maximize independence and participation in 
society by individuals with disabilities through the acquisition of AT.
