Assistive Technology

Specific to developing comprehensive catastrophic life care plans, there is often a need for various durable medical equipment, adaptive aids and other forms of assistive technology designed to assist the person in becoming more independent. Marini & Associates remain current and have training or experience with the literally thousands of assistive technology devices available on the market. Through trade shows, educational conferences, academic classes and actual use of some of the technology, we can assist in determining clients’ assistive technology needs. Also pertinent to prescribing such equipment, other factors are considered such as natural wear and tear of equipment, replacement parts such as batteries, cylinders, electrical components, etc. We often work with local and equipment specific professionals such as certified Assistive Technology Providers (ATP) through the Rehabilitation Engineering Association of America (RESNA). Assistive technology is used for assisting injured clients to become more independent in the home, at work, and/or throughout the community.

Typically recommended technology for persons with various types of disabilities is available. Persons with spinal cord injuries for example often benefit from manual and/or electric wheelchairs, standing frame chairs, transfer lifting devices, van modifications, adaptive sports equipment, environmental control units, specialized desks and alternative keyboarding options for computers, etc.

In our reports, we will include the technology name, where it can be purchased, the cost, and typical replacement component timelines and costs. We also offer free consultation on such devices post-settlement.
