Home Modifications Directory

Home modifications are changes made to a house or apartment to make it safer, easier to use, and more accessible. They help people move around comfortably and live on their own.

Common modifications include:

  • Changes or additions to the structure (e.g., widening doorways, adding a first-floor bathroom or a ramp)
  • Installing special equipment (e.g., grab bars and handrails)
  • Adjusting the location of items (e.g., moving furniture)

Home Modifications Guide

The Home Modifications Directory is updated annually and serves as a guide on home modification resources throughout the State of Maryland including: Equipment Supplies, Funding Sources and Loan Programs, Home Assessment/Equipment Evaluations, Information and Referral, Licensed Home Improvement Contractors, and Volunteer Organizations.

Accessible Gaming Playbook

The Accessible Gaming Guidebook (by MDTAP) helps people with disabilities find ways to play video games comfortably and independently.

Here is what it covers in short:

  • Built-in Settings: How to use basic settings already on Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch (like button remapping, screen magnifiers, and colorblind modes).
  • Game Options: In-game toggles that help with specific needs—such as turning off button-mashing, enabling auto-aim, turning on speaker subtitles, or adjusting sound effects separately from music.
  • Special Hardware: Specialized controllers and switches (like the Xbox Adaptive Controller) for players with limited motor control or hand mobility.
  • Local Support: Programs in Maryland where residents can test out devices or get loans/financial help to buy adaptive equipment.
