How GMA Works
Start with the person. We’ll help with the technology.
You don’t need to know which device to ask for. Tell us what the person wants to make possible. As a nationwide assistive technology provider, we work through the rest with you.
The journey
What working with GMA looks like
Tap a step.
Step 1: Start with the person
Not a catalog. What they want to do, what gets in the way, what matters most.
- What does a good day look like?
- What would you like to do with less help?
- Which routines matter most?
- Tell us the goal. We explore the technology.
- No product name needed
Step 2: Understand the whole picture
Home, routines, communication, mobility, vision and hearing, school or work, devices already in use, and the people already helping.
- So it fits real life, not just paper
- In Missouri, our occupational therapist can complete in-home assessments
Step 3: Explore possibilities
Assistive or enabling technology, adaptive equipment, accessibility tools, environmental controls, communication tools, remote support technology, or the GMA MyCompass System.
- Sometimes one simple tool
- More technology is not automatically better
Step 4: Explore access and funding
We help identify the pathways that may apply: participating Medicaid waiver programs, TRICARE, organizational or school funding, private pay, or other resources.
- You don’t need to know every rule first
- No guarantee of coverage or approval
Step 5: Configure and implement
Setup, accessibility settings, connectivity, accounts, existing devices, the environment, testing, and coordination with the support team.
- Planned with you
- Simple or coordinated, as needed
Step 6: Train
Practical training for the person and, where appropriate, family, caregivers, direct support professionals, case managers, and staff.
- Each role learns what it needs
- Technology that works in real life
Step 7: Stay connected
Where an ongoing service applies: check-ins, troubleshooting, refresher training, configuration changes, and a fresh look as goals change.
- Clear about what support includes
- Adjusted as life changes
What we’re really working toward
The product is not the outcome.
Technology is a tool. What matters is what it makes possible, as the person defines it.
- More independence
- More choice
- Participation
- Communication
- Access
- Confidence
- Safety on the person’s terms
- Less strain on caregivers
- Connection
- More control over daily life
We can’t promise outcomes, and we won’t. Every recommendation starts with the person’s goals, and technology strengthens human support. It does not replace it.
