D. Anecdote

A young woman was in need of a new braille device and had been searching for several months. She had heard ABLE Tech talk about their financial loan services, but after attending a conference, she was encouraged by the manufacturer who was offering a discount to trade in her older device. She was working on building her credit, so this also became a great financial opportunity. She uses the Braille Sense Polaris at work for notes and organization, accessing the internet, emails, and all of her regular daily functions. She also uses it for personal undertakings, such as taking minutes as the secretary for an organization she belongs to.

D. Anecdote

A two-year old child with deaf/blindness and global motor impairments receives early intervention services from SoonerStart. The SoonerStart team utilized a cause and effect switch toy which the child could activate to enhance his independent play despite his vision, hearing and motor impairments. Two pieces of assistive technology were utilized as part of the Oklahoma ABLE Tech loan library, a Koosh switch that connected to a switch-activated robot toy. With facilitation from a member of the intervention team, the child could activate the switch and experience much enjoyment as he played with the switch becoming more confident in activating the switch independently. This assistive technology helped him explore other cause/effect activated toys with increased independence. He is now able to explore a variety of cause/effect activated toys with increase independence.

B. Description of Training Activities

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

Oklahoma has a high demand for support of children and adults with complex communication needs who require augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) solutions. To meet this demand, Oklahoma ABLE Tech scheduled a free 1.5-day training attended by 60 speech-language pathologists (and one occupational therapist) to teach the procedures for evaluation and acquisition of AAC devices/systems. These professionals serve those across the lifespan and across the state and are now equipped to identify, assess, and acquire AAC systems for those who need solutions for their speech/communication impairments.

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

Oklahoma ABLE Tech is a standing member of the Oklahoma Transition Council (OTC) and annually contributes to the Oklahoma Transition Institute (OTI) Conference through support, a two-day booth presence, and training sessions. ABLE Tech staff provided a Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology (AT) session on AT and Transition at the 12th annual OTI conference with attendees comprising PK-12 educators, OTI team members, Career Tech staff, the Department of Rehabilitation Services staff, and parents, who all work to support students with disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. 600 attended the conference.

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

Oklahoma ABLE Tech hosted the first ever “TechAccessOK” statewide conference addressing ICT accessibility event was held in Oklahoma City with 150 attendees. Presenters included high impact national and state experts. Attendees represented individuals from Oklahoma state agencies, higher education institutions, and private businesses.

B. Description of Technical Assistance

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

ABLE Tech, in partnership with the OK Department of Rehabilitation Services, created a guide called the “Oklahoma Workforce System Roadmap for Physical and Technology Accessibility”. The roadmap focuses on two aspects of Workforce programmatic access: the built environment and information and communication technology (ICT). It details coordination among the Workforce System Partners with regard to statewide efforts to make Oklahoma’s Workforce System accessible to job seekers with disabilities. The ‘roadmap’ guide laid the foundation for ABLE Tech to then provide intensive technical assistance to all Oklahoma Workforce regional personnel on the steps needed to achieve both physical and technology certification according to the standards provided in the guide. Certifications are being awarded as various offices successfully achieve success. Re-certification will be required every two years.

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

Oklahoma ABLE Tech was included in the State Department of Education's Part C strategic plan for the State Systemic Improvement Plan submitted to the Office of Special Education Programs. The State Improvement Measurable Result topic selected was early literacy. The premise is to utilize assistive technology and accommodations to better prepare educators, children and families in early literacy skills as they transition from early intervention to Pre-K environments. Intensive Technical Assistance on early literacy and AT was provided to the Early Intervention Program located in Tulsa County through presentations, trainings, make-n-take sessions, videos and a joint event for families, educators and therapists entitled, Passport to Early Literacy.

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. Oklahoma ABLE Tech revised the “OK Funding for AT” online manual. It provides funding content specific to all public and private AT funding sources in Oklahoma. The manual provides programmatic information as it relates to purpose, contact information, financial criteria, eligibility, AT Devices and Services provided, application process, due process and pieces to the puzzle. This fully accessible online resource is available at no-cost to Oklahomans with disabilities, their families and professionals, which provides them the information to acquire AT.

2. Oklahoma ABLE Tech created an online one-stop resource called “AT Discovery”. It serves as a clearinghouse for many resources relating to a specific disability. By linking to one of the AT categories, individuals will find a page that provides concise explanations of available resources, tips, financial information, fact sheets, videos, and links to a variety of AT in the ABLE Tech Device Loan Inventory Program. Additionally, information in each AT category discusses the use of AT within the three environments of Education, Employment and Community Living. This online resource allows Oklahomans with disabilities, their family members and professionals which provides them the information to acquire AT.

State Improvement Outcomes

State improvement outcomes are not required. You may report up to two MAJOR state improvement outcomes for this reporting period. How many will you be reporting? 01

A. State Improvements

1. In one or two sentences, describe the outcome. Be as specific as possible about exactly what changed during this reporting period as a result of the AT program's initiative.

Becoming a direct lending program has afforded increased credibility to ABLE Tech as a viable lender for the purchase of needed assistive technologies to individuals with disabilities. Additionally, it uniquely positioned ABLE Tech/OkAT to apply for a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) Technical Assistance Grant which now allows OkAT the opportunity to become a certified CDFI. As a certified CDFI, OkAT will apply for future financial supports to better ensure programmatic sustainability.


2. In one or two sentences, describe the written policies, practices, and procedures that have been developed and implemented as a result of the AT program's initiative. Include information about how to obtain the full documents, such as a Web site address or e-mail address of a contact person, but do not include the full documents here. (If there are no written polices, practices and procedures, explain why.)

Oklahoma ABLE Tech’s financial loan program transitioned from a low interest/low interest guaranty program to one which now also includes a direct lending program. This shift required that ABLE Tech (in partnership with its non-profit partner, OkAT) develop new policies and procedures enabling them to become an independent lender for the purchase of needed assistive technologies (AT) for individuals with disabilities. Direct lending provides ABLE Tech the opportunity to service individuals, who have disabilities with lower incomes to purchase a broader range of dollar value AT at low interest rates with flexible repayment terms and minimal fees. This transition contributes to enhanced longevity of the Oklahoma financial loan program and provides more opportunities for those with disabilities to successfully purchase AT. https://www.ok.gov/abletech/Financial_Loans/index.html
