How to get an appointment

  1. To begin the appointment process,  click the "Get Services from the CED" button below, call or email the CED to discuss if an ATEC evaluation is a good fit.
  2. After talking with the Clinic Coordinator or a WVATS team member you will be emailed an Intake Form. This form provides us with basic information that will help us prepare in advance of your visit.
  3. Once we have received the intake form, we will call you to schedule your appointment.
  4. After the appointment date and time has been confirmed, we will send you our appointment packet. This packet includes confirmation of your scheduled appointment along with details about the clinic and directions to our location.

Day of clinic visit

On the day of the appointment, there are a few things to bring with you. Please bring:

  • List of barriers where AT may be beneficial
  • Current AT being used or previously tried

When you arrive, follow the CED Visitor sign to park in the top parking lot. The WVU CED is the middle building of the three tan buildings.

The clinical coordinator will inform the team that you have arrived at the CED. A team member will come up to take you downstairs to the lab where the evaluation will take place.

Evaluations typically take one hour to complete. Each evaluation is unique based on the barriers identified in the pre-evaluation form. You will meet all the team members and they will explain their role before the evaluation begins. Please be prepared to answer follow-up questions and interact with different devices throughout the evaluation. The team will complete their evaluation, and the visit will end with a wrap up and recommendations for devices.

Our team will follow up with you to share your evaluation findings. If you have any further questions about the clinic, please email WVATS at wvats@hsc.wvu.edu or call 304-293-4692, choosing 1 at the menu.

What to expect after visit

After your visit, you can expect to receive an email from one of our AT Specialists going over what was discussed and providing information regarding the devices that were demonstrated during your visit. After that email is distributed, a follow-up phone call will be placed to check-in and give any additional information needed.

If you have any further questions about the clinic, please email us at wvats@hsc.wvu.edu
