Programs

Accessibility and Assistive Technology Integration Program

The Accessibility and Assistive Technology Integration Program is Accessibility Clinic's broadest direct-service program, empowering individuals with disabilities of all ages by providing personalized assessments, adaptive tools, and accessibility modifications that support independence at home, school, work, and in the community. Services include assistive technology evaluations, home and workplace consultations, device demonstrations, training for caregivers and professionals, and guidance on funding resources. For needs specific to aging in place, family home modifications, or help finding the right resource, see our Aging with Dignity, Inclusive Family, and Accessibility Family Navigator Plus programs below. By removing barriers and promoting practical solutions, this program enhances daily functioning and quality of life. Through hands-on support and strategic partnerships, it fosters inclusion and builds long-term capacity for accessible environments across Central Florida.

Accessibility Family Navigator Plus

The Accessibility Family Navigator Plus program helps individuals with disabilities, seniors, and families across Central Florida find and connect with the right accessibility resources. Using a navigator model, the program guides families to appropriate assistive technology, home modification providers, contractor referrals, and financial assistance resources, helping them understand their options and take the next step with confidence. Through education, referral coordination, and connections to trusted community partners, the program reduces the confusion and legwork families face when seeking accessible living solutions. By strengthening community engagement and pointing individuals toward the right services, whether one of Accessibility Clinic's own direct-service programs or a partner organization, Accessibility Family Navigator Plus helps ensure no one has to navigate the accessibility landscape alone.

Aging with Dignity: Accessible Living Solutions

The Aging with Dignity: Accessible Living Solutions program is Accessibility Clinic's dedicated resource for older adults, delivering affordable, personalized home accessibility evaluations for seniors and individuals with severe disabilities seeking to age in place or regain independence. Conducted by a qualified Rehabilitation Engineer, assessments focus on low-cost, high-impact modifications such as grab bars, threshold ramps, and non-slip flooring to improve safety and daily function. While home modification support is also part of our broader family-focused programs, Aging with Dignity is built specifically around the needs of the aging-in-place population. The program partners with nonprofits, businesses, and community organizations to support implementation and funding, while also raising public awareness through affiliated websites. By combining expert guidance, community collaboration, and accessible solutions, the initiative enhances quality of life and aims to become the trusted local resource for senior home accessibility needs.

Community Accessibility Resource Center (CARC): Accessibility Home Modification, Assistive Technology, and Education Initiative

The Community Accessibility Resource Center (CARC) is an initiative led by Accessibility Clinic, focused on accessibility, assistive technology, and adapted learning. CARC provides hands-on training, evaluations, certificate of completion programs, and direct services for individuals with disabilities, caregivers, educators, and professionals. Core focus areas include home accessibility guidance, assistive technology and workplace accommodations support, specialized tutoring resources, and professional development. CARC also offers Universal Design for Learning (UDL) training, caregiver education, and community-based workshops. Through applied learning and inclusive practices, CARC aims to expand home modifications, improve school and workplace accessibility, and build regional capacity for inclusive support across Central Florida.

Inclusive Family: Accessibility Home Modification and Support Initiative

The Inclusive Family: Accessibility Home Modification and Support Initiative assists individuals with disabilities and their families of any age, not limited to seniors, in creating safe, accessible living environments. The program provides home accessibility assessments, modification guidance, assistive technology integration, and caregiver training to support long-term independence. By addressing physical barriers and connecting families with trusted contractors, funding sources, and adaptive tools, the initiative helps individuals remain safely and comfortably in their homes. Serving Central Florida families across the lifespan, the program promotes independent living and caregiver readiness through direct services and partnerships that expand access to essential modifications and resources.

Intergenerational Accessibility Mentoring Program

The Intergenerational Accessibility Mentoring Program fosters cross-generational learning by pairing youth with older adults and individuals with disabilities to promote digital literacy, accessibility, and independent living skills. Through a mutual exchange of knowledge, younger participants support technology use, including assistive devices and smart home tools, while older participants share lived experiences and adaptive strategies. The program emphasizes accessibility advocacy, home modifications, and community engagement, aiming to increase confidence, independence, and social connection across generations. Focused on Central Florida counties, the initiative is designed to pair participants for training, support accessibility projects in homes, and develop a model that can extend to schools, senior centers, and disability services.

Powered Mobility Equipment & Parts

This program highlights the often-overlooked yet critical components, such as batteries, adapters, hubs, and switches, that empower individuals with disabilities to maintain independence and safety in daily life. By addressing these small but essential tools, the program supports autonomy, powered mobility, and functional access to technology. With a focus on increasing awareness and reducing barriers, the initiative is designed to support individuals with disabilities and older adults across Central Florida, aiming to expand its impact through community partnerships, outreach, and donor engagement.

Assistive Technology Awareness

Assistive Technology Awareness raises public understanding of the everyday barriers created by a lack of accessible technology, from bathing, dressing, and cooking to communication, mobility, and using a computer, tablet, or phone. The program shares real-world scenarios and plain-language education so individuals with disabilities and their families can recognize when assistive technology could help and know where to turn next. Because no one expects an illness, injury, or diagnosis to change what independence requires, this awareness work reaches people wherever they are, not only in Central Florida, through our companion resource library at AssistiveTechnology.org. By pairing broad public education with the direct-service programs above, Assistive Technology Awareness helps ensure that awareness of assistive technology turns into genuine access to it.

AAC Support Program
