Funding

ATK staff will work with you to review public and private funding resources, identify the ones most likely to fit your situation, and assist you in completing applications and submitting required funding documentation. ATK has experience working with a variety of public and private funding sources including Kansas Rehabilitation Services, Kansas Medicaid, Infant Toddler Services, public education, Medicare, Veterans Affairs, private health insurance, Rural Housing Grants, Friends of Man, etc.

ATK also works with the Kansas AT Loan Program (K-Loan). K-Loan offers flexible preferred rate financial loans for assistive technology devices and services. A K-Loan may be used to pay for part or all of the cost of the assistive technology you need.

For those who live in live in Jefferson, Douglas, or Franklin County check the Jerry Vogel Fund as a possible funding option.
