ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY SLIDING FEE SCALE APPLICATION

CILNM believes that all people should have access to independent living services, where situations prevent people with disabilities to come to CILNM we will come to them via the Internet. Based upon this belief we have developed a sliding fee scale for private parties in need. The sliding fee scale is not available for organizations. The funds received into this program from the sliding fee scale will be put back into the program, which will allow others to participate in the program. Priority will be given to people in very rural areas with few other services.
