AJ, a single father supporting four children, says he learned how to budget when he had to stop working after breaking his neck. He pays his bills on time, however since he uses cash, he has not established any credit history or a savings account; making it difficult when he needed financing to purchase a motorized scooter. But then, thru Northwest Access Fund, AJ received a low interest loan for the scooter; helping him maintain his independence, ability to care for his children and start to build a credit history.

An individual contacted the Oregon AT Program late one evening to inquire about a beach wheelchair that had just been posted on the Program’s Reuse MarketPlace. The wife was so excited to learn the following day that the chair was still available, and explained that her husband had grown up on along the coast, but had not been able to get onto the beach since he was 10 years old. Their 27th wedding anniversary was approaching and with this chair, her gift to him would be a walk on the beach, and the gift to herself was realizing a savings of $4,850.

The parents of a young boy who is non-verbal contacted the Oregon AT Program to borrow an iPad with a specific communication app. As the parents explained, they had seen the app during a recent demonstration, but before the insurance company would agree to fund an iPad and the app, it was necessary to provide documentation showing the child could successfully communicate using this technology. The parents were excited when they returned the iPad, sharing that their son talked up a storm, and now had his own iPad and communication system; courtesy of their insurance company.

Mary had a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) at age two. Now at age 67, she finds herself looking for work while also completing her Masters Degree. Mary scheduled a guided demonstration at the Oregon AT Program to learn about assistive technology devices that could help her overcome barriers associated with memory loss and vision difficulties. During the demonstration Mary explored a number of free apps that she could use on her smartphone to assist with memory deficits as well as hand-held magnification devices to accommodate her vision needs. With the increased understanding about these technologies, Mary was able to work with her vocational rehabilitation counselor to receive a video magnifier, assistance downloading the free cognition app, and training on the new technologies.

Describe innovative one high-impact assistance training activity conducted during the reporting period:
In May the OSATP Specialists provided training to a Public Works Department in Corvallis and five representatives of employment from other agencies on the set up and use of their new assistive listening devices to accommodate individuals with hearing loss. With this training, people with hearing loss in Benton County are now able to borrow the digital FM systems in order to more fully participated in meetings and lectures.
Breifly describe one training activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
During the year, the OSATP Specialists conducted trainings to parents of students with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities (IDD). These trainings focused on introducing parents to a variety of assistive technologies that can help their children with increased independence and success as they transition to high school and out into the work force.
Breifly describe one training activity related to Information and Communication Technology accessibility:
The rural town of Jefferson Oregon received a grant to build a public library and wanted to make sure patrons could access both their print and electronic materials. Training provided to several staff members increased awareness about a range of assistive technologies to accommodate patrons with hearing, vision and cognitive difficulties. In addition to increasing awareness about specific assistive technologies, the training allowed staff to develop a basic understanding of Information Communication Technology (ICT), what it means and how it allows individuals with disabilities to access electronic information the library plans to develop

Describe Innovative one high-impact assistance activity that is not related to transition:
OSATP staff provided technical assistance to a local police department as they revised agency wide communication policies. The assistance increased awareness about technologies that are available to help officers better communicate with individuals in the community who are deaf and hard-of-hearing.
Breifly describe one technical assistance activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
Late Spring, our office was contacted by a parent of a youth who would be transitioning to high school next year. The parent explained that her son is on an IEP, but she was frustrated with the services he was receiving through his school, and felt there was more that the IEP team should be doing to ensure he received appropriate technology to start the new year off more successfully. Technical assistance was provided to the parent that increased her awareness about types of assistive technologies that she might consider exploring with her son, as well as communication processes the parent might consider with the school and IEP team, before strongly requesting the school invite an OSATP Specialist in to educate their staff.
Describe in detail at least one and no more than two innovative or high-impact public awareness activities conducted during this reporting period.

1. The Oregon AT Program received a special invitation to exhibit during the Siletz Tribal Pow-Wow. This was the second year for the event, and last year participants were hesitant to approach the table. Some kids would stop by, learn about the cool gadgets, then bring their parents with disabilities close to the table, but for the most part, the adults would not approach the table to talk about possible solutions. This year however, was a completely different experience. More than 200 tribal members of all ages visited the exhibit throughout the day; learning about assistive technology solutions that were on display and gathering up materials to share with other family members who could benefit from the AT Program services.

Many individuals accessing the OSATP MarketPlace are emotionally distraught due to the health situation of a loved one. This was certainly the situation for Mercy who arrived with a shopping list of recommended DME for her husband who was just released from the hospital, and on home dialysis following amputation surgery due to diabetes complications. After gathering the bathing, toileting and mobility devices he would need, she became emotionally distraught with the overwhelming changes in her life; serving as primary care provider for her husband, while working full-time and all the challenges that come along with these changes. While lending a supporting ear, the Program was able to provide community resources, including information about local support groups with the experience necessary to help her maneuver through these new life experiences.
