See following paragraph of operational guidelines: Where assistive
technologies are being considered, it is expected that the NDIA will generally
only fund the minimum necessary or standard level of support
required (i.e. a wheelchair with standard specifications and features, as
opposed to funding additional items that are not related to the functional
specifications required to meet the Participant's goal).
