Stephen is a fifty-five year old male with Parkinson’s Disease. He struggles with standing on his own and falls are becoming more common in his daily life. While daily tasks are becoming more and more difficult he is determined to maintain as much independence as he can for as long as possible. The FAAST direct loan program was able to lend $16,500 to Stephen for home modifications to allow him easier and safer access to his kitchen and bathroom as well as allow access to his screened in porch so he can relax outdoors and enjoy the nature of his yard. As he uses a wheelchair for most of his mobility due to the falls, the kitchen island was moved, cabinets were lowered, door frames were widened, the shower was modified and threshold ramp was installed for outdoor access.

A 33-year-old male, diagnosed with cerebral palsy came to the FAAST South Florida Regional Demonstration Center (SFRDC) along with his mother, sister, and brother-in-law to preview assistive technology (AT) that could help him use his computer to read the news and browse the internet independently. During their visit, the consumer and his family took part in our AT Demonstration Program. The SFRDC staff demonstrated an array of AT to help him access the computer, such as: the Quha head tracker, the Smart Nav, the iPad with switch control, the Hook iPad interface, and the Sesame Enable. After trying them all, the consumer decided to take part in our SFRDC Device Lending Program. He was able to borrow two switches and the Hook interface to use with his personal iPad. During their time at the SFRDC, the family expressed their gratitude for our assistance and for this amazing program which provided them the opportunity to trial assistive technology. Ultimately, helping them make a decision on which specific AT to purchase.

Describe innovative one high-impact assistance training activity conducted during the reporting period:
During Fiscal Year 2018, FAAST has been working on home automation solutions for Floridians with disabilities. The focus has been off-the-shelf, commercially available solutions. Each Regional Demonstration Center has been stocked with an array of home automation technology for loan, demonstrations, and trainings. The State Headquarters also stocked the Statewide Device Loan Program with the same inventory. YouTube videos have been produced highlighting using this technology to order food, schedule appointments, and basic environmental controls like turning on and off the lights. FAAST will be producing a FAAST Access Magazine in Fiscal Year 2019 to serve as a buyer’s guide for home automation solutions for persons with disabilities.
Breifly describe one training activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
During Fiscal Year 2018, FAAST partnered with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, the Florida Association of Centers for Independent Living, along with other community partners to develop and implement a summer training for high school juniors and seniors transitioning to a post-secondary setting. FAAST staff conducted trainings during the Florida Youth Leadership Forum focusing on AT Follows a Child, Advocating with VR/DBS for your AT Needs, AT 101, FAAST 101, Your Personal Finances, and community leadership. FAAST also provided temporary accommodations for participants.
Breifly describe one training activity related to Information and Communication Technology accessibility:
During Fiscal Year 2018, FAAST partnered with the Florida Department of Management Services on a series of four trainings for state agencies information and technology specialist. These trainings focused on what is assistive technology, what services FAAST provides, Section 504, and Section 508 and the refresher. Topics stressed included: ensuring all contracts included third-party verification testaments, mandating all communications are provided in multiple accessible formats, and incorporating a logical design and accessibility features into web design.

Describe Innovative one high-impact assistance activity that is not related to transition:
During Fiscal Year 2018, FAAST started an initiative of developing a universal design office. The State Headquarters moved to a new location. FAAST took the opportunity to include universal design in the new location. FAAST equipped the new office with many hands-free appliances, voice-activated lights, and a motion activitied doorbell. FAAST documented these devices in YouTube web vignettes. More of these videos will be produced in FY 2019.
Breifly describe one technical assistance activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
During Fiscal Year 2018, FAAST continued working with the Florida Department of Education on the implementation of the AT Follows a Child. This law was amended in FY 2017, but FL DOE did not issue guidance until this year. FAAST developed a FAQ sheet to inform families with students transitioning educational settings. FAAST provided a training on the amendments to AT Follows a Child at two state conferences. Approximately 70 people attended the trainings.
FAAST believes there are no issues with this service's data collection and reports.
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. During Fiscal Year 2018, FAAST in conjunction with the annual Family Café Conference provided, for the first time, an assistive technology track consisting of seven trainings over two-days. Topics for these trainings covered the gamut of adaptive toys to tablet-based communication solutions to video magnification. Approximately 210 participants attended these trainings. In addition to the AT Track, FAAST provided attendees to the conference an experience of visiting a regional demonstration center. Attendees were provided information and assistance, device loan, device demonstrations, trainings, and state financing services. Approximately 7,000 attendees visited the mock demonstration center.
2. During Fiscal Year 2017, FAAST partnered with a public relations firm to conduct focus groups. The report from the focus groups detailed the need to provide disability specific information via social media. With the start of Fiscal Year 2018, FAAST implemented a new mass media plan to address this need. In May 2018, FAAST enhanced the plan by adding more graphics to all social media posts. These changes produced 35,271 reaches and impressions.

With the need to track Information and Assistance services per customer, FAAST developed and launched the FAAST Information and Assistance Tracking (FIAT) data collection tool. This tool was launched in October 2018 and produced more reliable data compared to the previous two reports. In viewing the prototype for the new day-to-day collection system, FIAT is very similar to the new Information and Assistance interface.
