D. Anecdote

This 26-year old can now “go and enjoy those Oklahoma back roads” in his dream truck! A two-time participant in ABLE Tech’s financial loan program, this young man applied 4 years ago for a loan that was cosigned by his parents. Fast forward to 2018, and he was able to reapply for a loan by himself. He had improved his credit score which put him in a great position to purchase a vehicle. He is now able to enjoy those activities his same-age peers participate in while in his new modified vehicle!

D. Anecdote

This woman and her daughter live with hearing impairments which cause challenges in many areas of their lives. When it comes to hearing people while speaking on the phone, they have had much frustration because they cannot hear the speaker clearly. They received an amplified telephone through Oklahoma ABLE Tech’s Oklahoma Equipment Exchange which allowed them both to better take care of business on the phone because their calls were amplified and the speaker sounded clearer.

D. Anecdote

At 83 years young, this woman was able to keep an active lifestyle, including working, when she found the right equipment to enhance her vision! This woman’s Macular Degeneration caused her to lose her central vision which prohibited her from managing a computer keyboard and looking at printed reports required for her job. After receiving demonstrations through Oklahoma ABLE Tech of several items like magnifiers, reading prismatic glasses, and large print, high contrast keyboards, this woman was able to her job of working on computer programs. She stated that the equipment and the training she was provided gave her purpose and hope to continue her work at a local museum as well as many other tasks in her daily life.

ABLE Tech, in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services and the Oklahoma Office of Workforce Development (OOWD), is working to ensure technological accessibility of all websites and print materials at Oklahoma’s American Job Centers (AJC) statewide as required under the Workforce and Innovations Opportunity Act (WIOA). Personnel at AJCs have been provided with numerous trainings and ongoing technical assistance to ensure that people with disabilities will be able to successfully utilize all employment services offered throughout the State. All websites were tested for full accessibility, and as a result, WordPress templates were created to ensure that all AJC sites have fully accessible websites.

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

Oklahoma ABLE Tech has partnered with the Oklahoma State Department of Education to provide Early Literacy training to children receiving Early Intervention services under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Early Literacy was chosen as the Oklahoma’s State Identified Measurable Result (SIMR) for the State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) in order to improve reading skills. As a result of this partnership, ABLE Tech has provided training and ongoing technical assistance on assistive technology interventions and early literacy to all Early Intervention personnel statewide.

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.

The Oklahoma Administrative Rules have been revised to be in alignment with those of federal Section 508. Information can be found at: https://www.ok.gov/accessibility/


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 is statutorily charged with providing training and technical assistance on the accessibility of electronic and information technology (EIT) to all Oklahoma state agencies, higher education institutions and the state’s Career and Technology Education system. With the recent federal revision of Section 508 to ‘refresh’ Standards which apply to electronic and information technology procured by the federal government, including computer hardware and software, websites, telecommunications products and services, it was necessary to ensure that Oklahoma’s EIT Standards were also revised to be in alignment with the federal revision. ABLE Tech worked closely with the Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) who is responsible for updating Oklahoma Administrative Rules to revise Oklahoma’s EIT Standards for Accessibility AA 2.0 as defined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
