To what extent are home adaptations, such as widening doorways for wheelchairs, paid by First Steps?
First Steps does not pay for adaptations to homes for accessibility. These types of services could be identified as a need through the IFSP process and could be considered an “other” service. Other services are documented on the IFSP and include the identification of resources to secure those services. However, First Steps has no obligation or responsibility to pay for those adaptations. Senate Bill 40 funds, local philanthropic funds, or DMH funds under the choices or Family Support programs may be available to cover home adaptations.
