D. Anecdote

We received a request for a financial loan to purchase a modified vehicle for a couple. The husband sustained a back injury that created nerve damage. With his declining health he could no longer get in and out of his manual wheel chair or into their sedan. His wife assisted him in transferring from wheel chair to vehicle by placing a plastic Rubbermaid step stool on the ground and while he was stepping up onto it she held him up until he was able to position himself to fall into the car seat. She then still needed to fold and place the manual wheelchair into the trunk of the car. The financial loan allowed the couple to purchase a modified vehicle with an electronic ramp. He moved into a motorized wheelchair and rides it straight into the van and his wife simply has to buckled him in. This has made a great impact in their lives. She has the security of knowing there is less chance of either one of them getting injured and he is able to maintain his independence and participate in their community activities.

Impact Area

One word comes to mind when describing this individual – determined. She is deaf blind as a result of Usher Syndrome and taught herself Braille because she knew she would ultimately lose all of her sight. As she became fluent in Braille, she obtained Braille Notetaker / computer through the National Deaf Blind Equipment Distribution Program (NDBEDP) in addition to other Assistive Technology items. She is an excellent advocate for herself and for other deaf blind individuals. As a result of her determination, the CT Vocational Rehabilitation program for the Blind hired her to become a trainer for other deaf blind individuals to learn Braille. She will soon also become a trainer for the NDBEDP and has been highlighted as a success story in our state.

D. Anecdote

The Equipment Distribution Center (ERC) received a call from a man who lived in a nursing home. He was in need of a motorized wheelchair but was unable to come to the NEAT Center to look at them. The ERC staff reviewed options for buying, renting, rent-to-own and the refund policy and agreed to send him pictures of inventory items that might meet his needs. He selected a specific motorized wheelchair and requested delivery to him at his nursing home. Due to staff being on vacation it was difficult to schedule, however delivery was scheduled and he was more than thrilled to receive the wheelchair within less than a week of his initial call and it happened to be his birthday. When he received the wheelchair and after staff ensured it was a good fit for him, he stated, “It was the best birthday gift he had ever received.”

E. Anecdote

A CT school requested to borrow an iPad and to conduct an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) evaluation to determine if a student would benefit from using Proloquo2Go. Through the AT Act Program’s partner agency, CREC’s Assistive Technology Consortium, the device was loaned and instructions for use provided. Obtaining this iPad loan helped the school to carefully assess and determine whether this device was appropriate for the student. The school was happy to report to the family that the student had been successful in using the iPad -- her communication requests increased and negative behaviors decreased. Her functional communication continues to improve as she now is able to order lunch in the cafeteria and participate, to greater degree, within the regular education classroom. Thanks to CREC’s staff and the lending library, the school was able to document the student’s progress and moved forward with securing a device for the student.

A family member inquired about devices to help monitor her son with severe cognitive disabilities. They were interested in an alerting system to allow him to move into the attached in-law apartment and live independently while allowing the family to know he was safe. The family visited our demonstration center in the East to explore options and devices. They purchased an alert and camera system and he is now living independently with family supports in his own community. Without these devices, the family was sure he would have to move into a group home with constant staff supervision.

B. Description of Training Activities

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

Training was provided to all of the staff at the Hartford and Waterbury American Job Centers to teach them about the variety of new Assistive Technology devices that were purchased for each center under the Disability Employment Initiative grant, in order to establish AT demonstration and lending for their customers to use on site or at work and for area employers who may be in need of accommodating their employee with disabilities. Procedures for AT demo and lending were also reviewed.

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

Read and Writing Tech Tools for Struggling Students – Trained on and demonstrated a wide range of technology tools to support students who struggle with reading and/or writing. Explored a continuum of tools and resources as part of a student’s digital toolkit – giving them better and easier access to the curriculum. Supports addressed struggles with decoding, reading fluency and comprehension as well as idea generation and written expression. As students struggle with one or more of these skills, the importance of addressing difficulties within reading and writing through use of AT can be critical.

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

Over several hours, participants explored the components of web accessibility. Instructed by the Manager of Blind Vocational Services, this group of developers learned how to implement accessibility requirements. They spent time focusing specifically on end-users with with vision impairments and the types of screen reading software they use. By the end, participants successfully listed common barriers experienced by individuals, understood guidelines and principles in achieving an accessible website, and evaluate conformance to Section 508. In turn, having a great impact on the influence of their website accessibility efforts.

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

Through an MOA with the Connecticut Department of Labor and their Disability Employment Initiative (DEI) grant, the AT Act Program was able to establish two new AT demonstration and loan centers at two American Job Centers in our state. This TA included assessment and documentation of current inventory at both centers; recommendations and purchase of new inventory using DEI funds; training to all staff at both centers on the new devices as well as how demonstrations and loans can help their customers access AT for their services or to use at employment sites; creation of policies and marketing materials.

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

The AT Act Program staff provides ongoing TA to the state VR agency (general and blind) regarding Assistive Technology for students with disabilities receiving transition services via attendance at regular Transition Committee meetings with transition counselors.

Public Awareness

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. A presentation titled, "Introduction to Assistive Technology for Early Childhood", was provided to the First Church of South Glastonbury. With 130 people in attendance, parishioners were enlightened about the types of technology available to children with disabilities. This presentation included low to high tech supports for children ages Birth to Five who have difficulty with communication, learning, accessibility to toys, and social connections. Parishioners of all ages were given an overview of assistive technology and its impact on children. They were then able to explore some toys and devices while asking questions about how the technology can create an independent and active learning and social environment for children.

2. AT Act Program staff attended a meeting of the Communication Advocacy Network Corporation (CAN), a non-profit charitable organization that addresses the rights and needs of individuals who are Deaf, Hard-of Hearing, or Deaf-Blind, to share information regarding AT Act Program services and specific services to individuals who are Deaf Blind. Our staff answered questions and clarified services and as a result of this public awareness event, applications for services increased and we were able to implement changes to service delivery based on participant's feedback in order to improve the impact of services.
