Are communication services, including AAC, covered by adult services programs?
Currently, adults with disabilities in the United States do not have a blanket entitlement to free therapeutic services or assistive technology. In some cases, however, services may be funded through state-administered programs, private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare. Every state has agencies responsible for providing services to individuals with disabilities, such as Vocational Rehabilitation, independent living programs, and those serving individuals with developmental disabilities. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provides links to the disability programs in each state. For more information: U.S.
