Assistive Technology

Missouri Rehabilitation Center serves pediatric and adult patients throughout the state of Missouri at either the Assistive Technology Assessment Center in Mt. Vernon or the Assistive Technology Evaluation Center in Columbia.

Individuals served present: communication disorders that impede their ability to effectively communicate with others; motor or physical disabilities that prevent them from accessing a standard computer or communication device; and work related injuries that requires modification of job tasks or means to control their environment.

In order to enable our clients to maximize their abilities, the Assistive Technology Assessment Center draws from a team of specialists with backgrounds in speech, physical, occupational and recreational therapy, as well as utilizing technical support personnel.

The Assistive Technology Assessment Center is an approved evaluation site by Missouri Medicaid, the Bureau of Special Health Care Needs and Vocational Rehabilitation. Referrals are received from Independent Living Centers, Regional Centers, area schools, individual therapists, special educators, and client advocates.

As a result of the evaluations performed by our Assistive Technology team, many individuals have been enabled to overcome barriers in their day to day lives at home, in school, in the workplace, and out in the community.

Our goal is to offer technology options to individuals with communication, motor and other physical disabilities so that they can participate in every day life at home, school, the workplace and in other social situations. For more information, call (417) 461-5354.
