D. Anecdote

Dwight and Tiffany Moore have purchased a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan from Mobility Works. Their twin sons, Dallas and Dylan, are diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2. Both boys are power wheelchair users and they are unable to transport them with them on family outings and to doctors’ appointments. Currently, the boys are only able to use their power chairs at home and at school. This vehicle would greatly increase their independence as it would allow them to travel with their power wheelchairs.

Impact Area

Jason Hodge and his father, Patrick, have purchased a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan from Mobility Works in Bessemer. Jason is diagnosed with a congenital muscular disorder and is a power wheelchair user. He will be using this vehicle to drive himself to work and to school independently.

D. Anecdote

In December 2017, a wife called Waste Not in need of a hospital bed for her husband whose legs were amputated due to an infection leaving him vulnerable to immobility. She told us that their insurance wouldn’t cover the hospital bed and she could not afford to pay $1,400 for the equipment. She’d been calling organizations all over town to get assistance and luckily, she found Waste Not, a reutilization program in partnership with STAR, Alabama’s AT Act Program. Waste Not was able to give her a hospital bed with linens and other supplies for her husband’s daily living and helped her load it into her truck. This equipment gave him the ability to sit himself up and reduce the prevalence of bed sores, making him much more comfortable and mobile.

B. Description of Training Activities

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

A STAR Assistive Technology Specialist created and presented “AAC and AT for Children with Autism” for 65 representatives of education and health/allied health/rehabilitation. Participants learned how young children with autism can benefit from hands-on cause and effect experiences that create a bridge to future communication through the meaningful use of tablets as dedicated communication devices and age-appropriate augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) apps. Switch-adapted toys were also demonstrated as a companion assistive technology (AT) communication bridging tool. Participants gained access to statewide autism and assistive technology resources, including a comprehensive list of AAC/AT apps to benefit young children with autism, that were curated through a STAR partnership with the Autism Society of Alabama.

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

A STAR Assistive Technology Specialist created and presented “Using Augmented Reality (AR) for Employment Development” for one individual with disabilities, six representatives of employment, and 20 representatives of health/allied health/rehabilitation. Focused on education transition from school to work, the training was created to introduce supported employment agencies, job coaches, and prospective employers to AR as an interactive, intuitive, hands-on, real-time tool that can be easily adapted and utilized by employees of all abilities to learn specific tasks. Participants learned how to use AR via tablets and smartphones for training and task management, which can be easily adapted to the individual needs of the employee.

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

A STAR Assistive Technology Specialist created and presented the “Information Technology & AT Accessibility” training for eight adult individuals with disabilities and one representative of health/allied health/rehabilitation at Children’s Rehabilitation Services in Opelika, AL. The training was solely focused on accessible information and communication technology (ICT), including web access, software accessibility, and procurement of accessible ICT. Staff introduced, demonstrated, and discussed the built-in software/hardware accessibility features of Mac OSX, Windows, Chrome, Android, and iOS, as well as software/hardware that can be purchased (or downloaded for free) to enhance accessibility. During a very interactive Q&A, the STAR Assistive Technology Specialist answered participants’ questions regarding ICT and shared a resource guide for additional assistance. As a result of this training, the representative of health/allied health/rehabilitation in attendance at the host agency now shares this information with individuals with disabilities, their family members/caregivers, and the professionals who work alongside them as needed and directs them to STAR for additional AT assistance.

B. Description of Technical Assistance

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

Two STAR Assistive Technology Specialists provided technical assistance to 12 Parkinson’s support groups across the state to help organizers plan monthly programs that would improve the lives of caregivers and care recipients through the understanding and meaningful use of assistive technology for daily living. STAR staff provided TA in-person, via email and phone over the course of two months. It is estimated that at least 166 individuals with Parkinson’s and their family members benefitted from this TA activity during 2018.

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

Two STAR Assistive Technology Specialists provided technical assistance to the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services (ADRS) Lakeshore office over the course of eight weeks to plan and develop assistive technology for transition curriculum for the agency’s summer and fall college prep and job readiness transition workshops offered regionally to high school and community college students of all abilities. STAR staff provided TA in-person, via email and phone. It is estimated that at least 61 students benefitted from this TA activity during 2018.

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. Helping Those Who Care (HTWC) was a regional training program in North Alabama (presented by Alabama Respite with support from the Alabama Department of Senior Services and Top of Alabama Regional Council of Governments) in 2018. HTWC training was created specifically for aging caregivers of care recipients with age-related disabilities (Alzheimer’s, dementia, arthritis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, low vision, hearing impairment, etc.) to understand, obtain, and use assistive technology to reduce caregiver dependency and burnout, as well as to gain access to related caregiver supports. As a result, more than 200 caregivers received the following STAR assistive technology public awareness during HTWC trainings: • STAR Training, Demo & Loan informational rack card • Detailed printed instructions on how to access and use al.at4all • STAR Reuse rack card (trainer highlights the reuse center closest to the audience) • STAR Alternative Finance program information • A hands-on group demonstration of at least 20 AT items from the STAR Device Demo & Loan inventory • “AT for Aging” informational handout with examples of what kinds of devices are being demonstrated during the training from STAR Device Loan inventory. • Individual AT item demonstrations onsite after the training (from STAR Demo & Loan inventory) • A STAR pen (with program contact info) • A follow-up technical assistance (TA) call and/or email following the training to see if they need additional AT info, need help creating an account on al.at4all, and/or would like to borrow any AT from STAR. Additionally: • HTWC trainings and follow-up TA have resulted in numerous STAR AT trainings being requested and conducted for specific groups (AT for Parkinson’s, AT for Alzheimer’s, AT for Autism, etc.). • An online HTWC toolkit highlights AT for various needs, and each featured item that is available for loan through STAR links to that loan info on al.at4all: http://htwc.alabamarespite.org. • The companion printed HTWC toolkit, available in English and Spanish, features STAR device loan information and is now available through all 13 Alabama Area Agency on Aging offices statewide.
