C. Description of Training Activities

Describe innovative one high-impact assistance training activity conducted during the reporting period:

ATinNH chaired the national assistive technology maker’s day at ATIA Conference that was attended by over 300 people. As a result, ATinNH help people to make a total of 380 devices were made in These devices included, independent, living aids, cellphone holders, book holders, scan and read stations, dice launchers, and devices for recreation and relaxation.

Briefly describe one training activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:

At the Age of Champions to promote the elderly returning home, a workshop was given on how ordinary items can be used to create assistive technology. Several caregivers attended and were helping their parents transition from a rehab facility following a stroke home and learned how to make several solutions for their parents. In addition they were able to take home devices for one handed use and give to their parents following this workshop.

Briefly describe one training activity related to Information and Communication Technology accessibility:

QR codes are appearing every where. They are at restaurants, on instructional materials, on brochures, business card etc. However until now people who are blind would never know that there is a QR code and even if they did know, they would not know how to orient their cell phone camera to capture the code for access to important information and electronic documents and resources. ATinNH created a solution on how to make this accessible by conducting a hands-on ICT workshops for making QR code dot makers to place a tactile dot under each QR Code on every business card, brochure, handout etc. Over 300 individuals participated in the QR code DOT making workshops and took home with them a hand held tactile dot maker to make all of their business cards and marketing materials accessible with QR codes on them, accessible for the Blind. The person who is blind, put one finger on the dot and pull the camera on their phone back until voice over captures the QR code.

B. Description of Technical Assistance

Describe Innovative one high-impact assistance activity that is not related to transition:

We assisted the occupational therapy department in developing their own assistive technology, device, demo and loan program. This includes recommending approximately 200 different devices for them to have in their library; photographing the devices; and creating resource sheets for students, and Public during assisted technology outreach activities.

Breifly describe one technical assistance activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:

We partnered with the Department of Education Office of Vocational Rehabilitation to partner with four community colleges to offer assistive technology training for high school students transitioning to post secondary education. We developed a one hour training module that includes hands on interaction with assistive technology to increase educational success at the Community College level.

Public Awareness

Public Awareness Activities

Public Awareness Narratives

Describe in detail at least one and no more than two innovative or high-impact public awareness activities conducted during this reporting period. Highlight the content/focus of the awareness information shared, the mechanism used to disseminate or communicate the awareness information, the numbers and/or types of individuals reached, and positive outcomes resulting from the activity. If quantative numbers are available regarding the reach of the activity, please provide those: however, quantative data is not required.

1. We had a large exhibit of assistive technology at the Age of Champions conference that was attended by over 400 individuals. As a result, we were invited to do three more public awareness events at senior centers.

2. We had a large exhibit at the Family Support Conference for individuals with developmental disabilities. This was attended by over 500 individuals. As a result of this training, we noticed an uptick in requests for device demonstrations and loans from individuals with disabilities and family members.

Coordination/Collaboration and State Improvement Outcomes

Overview of Coordination/Collaboration Activities

Coordination/Collaboration activities are not required. You may report up to two MAJOR coordination/collaboration activities for this reporting period. How many will you be reporting?

A. Coordination/Collaboration

1. As concisely as possible, describe the partnership initiative. What activities/services were provided? Who are the major collaborating organizations and what is their role? Who is served/benefited? What funding was used to implement the initiative?

We collaborated with the Department of Education support project for teachers of the visually impaired. The purpose of this collaboration was to increase access to devices that teachers can borrow for students with vision impairments. The teachers created a wish list of devices that they wanted to have immediate access to for loans to students to make appropriate decisions. We purchased over $20,000 in new devices for loans using carryover funding from the Gibney Foundation and using the state portion of the ATinNH Federal Grant from ACL.

2. As concisely as possible, describe the measurable results of the initiative and any lessons learned. How did access to AT change as a result of the coordination/collaboration/partnership? How did awareness of AT change as a result of the partnership? How did the reach of the state AT program change as a result of the partnership? What made the partnership successful? What would you change or wish you had done differently? Provided funding/resources are available, will the initiative continue or is this a one-time event? What advice would you give for replication of the initiative? Please include URL for initiative if available.

These devices are being managed by this sub group of the DOE that supports teachers of the visually impaired so that they could use these devices for both demonstrations and loans. In addition, one teacher of the visually impaired is recording all outcome data related to all of these devices. This has been a successful partnership.

3. What focus areas(s) were addressed by the initiative?

Education;

4. What AT Act authorized activity(s) were addressed?

Device Loan; Demonstration;

A.2 Coordination/Collaboration (Entry 2)

We established a new partnership with Future In Sight, which is a nonprofit that provides vision rehabilitation services for NH people of all ages who are blind or visually impaired. We developed a plan to transfer all vision related equipment to them, so that they are able to use the equipment to conduct demonstrations and loans.

Our partnership with Future In Sight has been successful. What made this new partnership successful is new, energetic, highly motivated and enthusiastic staff who really want to increase access to assistive technology for individuals with vision loss.

3. What focus areas(s) were addressed by the initiative?

Education; Community Participation and Integration;

4. What AT Act authorized activity(s) were addressed?

Device Loan; Demonstration;

Overview of State Improvement Activities

Loneliness and social isolation has been identified by the surgeon general as a major health concern for individuals with disabilities. We believe assistive technology can play an important role to reduce social isolation for individuals with disabilities. Therefore we invested in an assortment of smart home technologies including the Amazon show to use for hands free social engagement. We identified a number of resources to help individuals integrate the Amazon show as well as routines in their home and how to do drop-ins so that family members can easily visit with another family member who is isolated and also has an Amazon show. We used our state level funds for demonstrations to purchase the Smart Home Technologies and we used the external ACL - Public Health Workforce funds for all of the planning meetings and resource development activities.
