Ohio families looking for adaptive mobility equipment often face one major question:
At xROVER USA, we understand that adaptive outdoor mobility equipment can be a significant investment. Many families explore a combination of Ohio Medicaid, Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waivers, assistive technology programs, nonprofit organizations, community fundraising, financing, and physician-supported medical documentation.
Below are three Ohio resources that may help families seeking funding for adaptive equipment, mobility devices, pediatric equipment, or assistive technology.
xROVER USA does not guarantee funding approval, but we are happy to help families prepare supporting documentation including product quotations, technical data sheets, Letters of Medical Necessity (LMN), Clinical Benefits & Medical Justification Guides, and personalized equipment recommendations.
Best for: Assistive technology guidance, equipment demonstrations, funding information, statewide assistive technology resources, and professional consultations.
Assistive Technology of Ohio serves as the state's Assistive Technology Act program and helps Ohioans identify technology solutions that improve independence and participation in everyday life.
Families can receive guidance regarding:
Assistive Technology evaluations
Equipment demonstrations
Funding resources
Professional consultations
Community referrals
Training and educational resources
The program works closely with Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) and other statewide disability organizations. (Legislative Service Commission)
Although Assistive Technology of Ohio is not a traditional grant program, it is an excellent starting point for families looking to:
understand available assistive technology,
identify funding opportunities,
connect with specialists,
explore statewide disability resources.

Best for: Children and adults with developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, autism, and other qualifying diagnoses.
Ohio offers several Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waivers that specifically include Assistive Technology among covered services when medically necessary.
Important waiver programs include:
Individual Options (IO) Waiver
Level One Waiver
SELF Waiver
Effective January 1, 2026, Ohio updated its administrative rules governing Assistive Technology under these waivers, including provider qualifications, documentation requirements, and payment standards. (Ohio Laws)
Assistive Technology is specifically recognized within these waiver programs.
Families should discuss with their Service and Support Administrator (SSA) whether adaptive outdoor mobility equipment may help improve:
community participation,
caregiver safety,
mobility,
positioning,
independence,
quality of life.
Best for: Individuals with physical disabilities who require medically necessary adaptive equipment.
Ohio's Home Care Waiver includes coverage for supplemental adaptive and assistive device services when equipment is medically necessary and unavailable through another funding source.
Equipment must help the individual:
function more independently,
avoid institutionalization,
reduce reliance on caregivers.
Prior authorization is generally required. (Ohio Laws)
For some families, adaptive outdoor mobility equipment may become part of a broader medically necessary care plan supported through Ohio Medicaid.
Families should speak with:
their physician,
physical therapist,
occupational therapist,
Medicaid case manager,
waiver coordinator.
OOD primarily supports employment, vocational rehabilitation, and independent living.
For teenagers and adults pursuing education or employment, OOD may provide assistive technology that supports independence and community participation. (Legislative Service Commission)
