How to Apply

To apply for equipment, complete a TAP application, have a licensed professional complete the Disability Certification section and mail the application back to the TAP office. Click here to download and print an application.

TAP requires the “Disability Certification” section on the application to be completed by one of the following licensed professionals:

  • Audiologist

  • Ophthalmologist

  • Optometrist

  • Physician

  • Speech Pathologist

  • Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor.

Professionals such as hearing aid specialists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, social workers and case managers are not recognized as qualified disability certifiers for TAP and therefore are not able to sign the application.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I receive my equipment?
There are two ways to receive your equipment. TAP staff can order the equipment for you and have it shipped directly to your home, or you will receive a voucher(s) in the mail and you are responsible for obtaining your equipment from a TAP approved vendor.

Who owns the equipment after I receive it?
You do! The equipment received from TAP is yours to keep. However, you are fully responsible for any service or repairs beyond those covered by the manufacturer's warranty and the Kansas Assistive Device "Lemon Law".

How often can I receive equipment from TAP?
You can apply for new equipment every four years. However, you may reapply at any time if your disability/impairment changes and different equipment is necessary. A statement from your certifying authority is required with your re-application.
