Wounded Warrior Service Members
Computer/Electronic Accommodations Program (CAP) works closely with service members across the nation to ensure they receive appropriate assistive technology for their needs. Accommodations are available for service members with vision or hearing loss, dexterity impairments, including upper-extremity amputees, and communication and cognitive difficulties, including Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI).
CAP is available to provide support and accommodations in the following phases:
Phase 1:
Recovery and Rehabilitation: CAP can provide assistive technology to support a service member's medical recovery and rehabilitation at Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) throughout the nation.
Phase 2:
Transition: CAP works closely with therapists, providers, case managers, and military liaisons to increase awareness of assistive technology. CAP also provides services to housing and training facilities at various MTFs, in addition to supporting hiring initiatives and career fairs.
Phase 3:
Employment: CAP can provide assistive technology and accommodations free of charge for internship and/or permanent employment within the Federal government.

Each needs assessment should be looked at on a case by case basis. It is important to remember that there are varying degrees and types of disabilities, and each assessment should be tailored to the needs of the individual. The CAP Wounded Service Member Team will contact you to help identify the most appropriate assistive technology.
