islands, and remote areas of Taiwan. However, the NHRC is concerned that 26 rural areas are still without community-based service locations, and that the 68 community-based service centers provide an overall service coverage rate of merely 2.03%. The competent authority must actively devise effective countermeasures and propose specific project objectives and schedules. Article 20: Personal mobility 90. The NHRC believes that the constant innovation of assistive devices and technologies amid rapid technological advancement is hugely beneficial to persons with disabilities, particularly in the realm of consumer electronics and applications, which have helped many persons with visual impairments in securing employment and acquiring information. However, the current subsidization system is overly rigid and encompasses only a standard set of assistive devices, which no longer meet current needs and lack technological compatibility (e.g., assistive mobile APPs). There are also limitations to the number of assistive devices that persons with disabilities may acquire and the duration of use of these devices. 74 Furthermore, the system's co-payment framework makes it uneconomical for many in need. 75 The inability to gain subsidization significantly impacts the employment, medical treatment and rehabilitation, independent living, and community involvement of persons with disabilities, consequently marginalizing them in society. 91. The NHRC has raised concerns regarding the administration of daily living devices for persons with disabilities: 74 75 According to the latest revision of the Regulations on Subsidization for Medical Treatment and Auxiliary Appliances for People with Disabilities, subsidization for assistive devices is limited to four devices within a two-year period. The Regulations on Subsidization for Rehabilitative Medical Services and Related Assistive Technology for People with Disabilities combines the subsidies granted for medical aids and daily living devices, whereby subsidization is limited to four devices within a two-year period. According to the Long-term Care (Care Services, Professional Services, Transportation Services, Assistive Services, and Home Accessibility Renovations) Payments and Benefits Standards (amended and announced on December 10, 2020), subsidization for the procurement/rental of assistive devices and home renovations is limited to NT $40,000 per person within a three-year period. According to the Subsidy Standards for Assistive Devices Required by Laborers with Occupational Injuries, subsidization is limited to NT $60,000 per year for up to four assistive devices, excluding cochlear implants, Braille displays, and desktop video magnifiers. Take daily living devices for example, the Control Yuan investigation report approved on March 17, 2020 indicated that only 50% of persons with disabilities in need of assistive devices applied for the subsidy in 2018. 62
