This report summarizes the results of a pilot price survey of assistive devices and supports for persons with disabilities undertaken in the fall of 2001. It provides a broad sample of over 150 prices of aids, devices and supports commonly needed by persons with disabilities. The ultimate goal of this work is to create an objective and comprehensive national source of information about the prices faced by persons with disabilities, their families, and health and social service organizations. In so doing, the price survey is meant to contribute to the development of a more accurate and comprehensive portrait of the costs borne by individuals with disabilities, and should assist in the work of researchers, policy makers, service providers, and advocates.
