● LEARN THE EQUIPMENT
Use this when you are choosing, setting up, or troubleshooting hardware
● CHOOSE GAMES
Use this when you need a game that fits the person's abilities and goals, or want to check what accessibility options a game has before the person buys it.
● ASSESSMENT
Use this when you are structuring an adaptive gaming evaluation, identifying a person's goals and access needs, or guiding clinical reasoning about possible setups.
● TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
Use this when someone needs to test equipment before buying it, needs short-term equipment, or needs hands-on help nearby.
● GET HELP AND CONNECT
Use this when you want expert help, equipment support, or a way to connect someone with peers and community.
● COST GUIDE
Use this to set realistic expectations with people and families early. These are general estimates, not fixed prices.
● FUNDING GUIDE
Use this when equipment cost is a barrier. Funding depends heavily on where the person lives, who the payer is, what the equipment is documented to be for, and how well that purpose is documented. What qualifies in one state, province, or insurance plan may not qualify in another. Confirm current rules with the specific payer.
