Hogan VanSickle is a 36-year-old female injured in a car accident on June 12, 2016 while living in Salt Lake City, UT. The accident left her with a C5/C6 spinal cord injury leaving her paralyzed from the chest down. To be closer to her family, Hogan moved into Charlotte Health and Rehabilitation Center in Charlotte, NC in September 2016 following 3 months in ICU and rehabilitation. While living at the rehab center, Hogan met Tammy Pereboom with NC Assistive Technology Program (NCATP). Tammy worked with Hogan to use her Amazon Alexa to control the television and lights in her room. During their conversations, Hogan mentioned that she wanted to move home and had been looking at options. She qualified for limited home health care hours and needed a bed that would help her turn over at night. Her insurance had denied the bed and she needed assistance with purchasing. Tammy mentioned the AFP program with the Self-Help Credit Union and connected Hogan with Cheryl Cherry. Within 72 hours of completing the application, Hogan was approved for the loan. On October 1, 2018 Hogan moved home after 25 months in long term care.

In August 2018, 17 months following North Carolina being impacted by hurricane Matthew, NCATP received a call from NC Emergency Management regarding two hurricane survivors needing assistive technology and durable medical equipment. Items needed were a manual reclining wheelchair, a standing lift, electric hospital bed, and a lift chair. Both individuals lived in the Roberson County area (a very rural portion of NC). Frank Harden, NCATP Reuse Coordinator, contacted individuals across the state to locate the items needed. Within hours, he was contacted by a gentleman in the Raleigh area who had recently lost his wife from a lengthy illness. He wanted to donate durable medical equipment to the NCATP reuse program. The items to be donated were exactly the items needed by the two gentlemen. NCATP arranged for pickup and delivery to the individuals, approximately 2 hours from Raleigh. The two individuals received all needed reused equipment within two days’ notice to NCATP.

In 2017, North Carolina was struck by hurricane Matthew putting 1/3 of the state under water. This created a significant issue for individuals using durable medical and assistive technology devices. NCATP's small reuse program assisted over 50 individuals in obtaining replacement devices and/or temporary devices while waiting on a permanent solution. NCATP staff worked with state leaders to develop procedures for future natural disasters regarding AT and DME items.

Gloria Jinks in the Greenville NCATP center received a call from NC Department of Public Safety regarding an employee who was having difficulty with speech output following a medical condition. The employee and supervisor wanted to see what options might be available. The individual visited the NCATP center and initially tried a Voice Amplifier. He felt this device would work and he borrowed it for several days. After trying the device at home and work, the amplifier did not prove to be a good option. A second visit at the NCATP center led to him trying an iPad with the Touch Chat app. He loved the app and instantly reviewed all options and directions. He borrowed the iPad and used the app during a second surgery and a return to work, approximately 16 days. He then purchased an iPad and worked with Ms. Jinks to download and set up the Touch Chat app. He continues to work with NC Department of Public Safety using his app daily.

. G. is a friendly and outgoing high school student with cerebral palsy and a partial hearing loss. She was moving to a transitional postsecondary school program through the University of North Carolina at Greensboro called Beyond Academics. This program teaches both community and work skills. S. G. and her vocational rehabilitation counselor were interested in technology that would assist her in the classroom and in her dormitory. NCATP was called in for technical assistance to assist S.G. in a successful transition. NCATP staff, Lynne Deese, worked with S.G. and tried a variety of apps and strategies. Recommendations were made that facilitated her ability to generate written products in the classroom and community. Simple accommodations like a rain cape that was able to shield both S.G. and her wheelchair as well as a means of creating drawer pulls were important modifications to her environment. Beyond Academics’ staff and instructors were provided with an online tutorial b
