D. Anecdote

The Matta family was referred to AzLAT by one of the parent support organizations in Phoenix. They needed a financial loan to purchase a wheelchair lift for their van so that they could transport their 11-year-old daughter Megan in her power wheelchair when they go out in the community. Megan has spinal muscular atrophy and does not have the strength in her arms to push her manual wheelchair, but she is independently mobile when using her power wheelchair. Not having a wheelchair lift in their vehicle meant that Megan had to rely on her parents to push her chair, which of course was frustrating to her. The total cost of the lift with installation was $7760. The Matta’s borrowed $5760 from AzLAT and contributed $2000 of their own funds towards the final purchase price. The AzLAT loan was an affordable assistive technology solution for this family, one that enabled them to safely transport Megan; and allowed Megan the freedom to move around independently no matter where they went.

D. Anecdote

Mr. R. was a homeless, unemployed veteran with a physical mobility issue that limited his ability to walk more than 10 feet even with a walker. He had applied for and was waiting for services from the Phoenix Veterans Administration (VA) and needed a computer to access VA benefits and pursue online applications for housing. He requested a laptop from the Arizona Technology Access Program (AzTAP) Refurbished Computer Program so that he could sit at the library or other public locations with free WIFI and internet access. This would help him conserve energy and reduce walking distances. Based on his circumstances, AzTAP was able to supply him with a free, refurbished computer that met his needs. The VA assisted with transporting him to the AzTAP office so that he could pick up the computer.

E. Anecdote

David had been diagnosed with the Bulbar type of ALS was affects speech) and he was referred to AzTAP by the Arizona ALS Association. He was employed as a manager at a local tire repair shop and was having increasing difficulty verbally communicating with coworkers and customers. David wanted to use the iPad as a Speech Generating Device, but the family had not chosen a specific iOS Communication App. He was on a waiting list to get a loaner iPad from the ALS Association Loan Closet. In the interim, AzTAP was able to loan David the iPad of his choice with a protective case. It was preinstalled with five of the more popular typing-based iOS speech communication Apps that ranged from low to high cost that he could try out. This gave David the opportunity to explore the different communication options to find the one that had the features that worked best for him, and he was able to immediately use the iPad at work. After about 5 weeks, the ALS Association was able to prep and donate an iPad to David and he returned AzTAP’s device, making it available for someone else.

D. Anecdote

Brenda, an 80-year-old woman with vision loss as a result of macular degeneration, come to AzTAP accompanied by her younger sister for an AT demonstration. Although she was using regular glass magnifiers, she was interested in exploring portable video magnifying devices to enlarge print on letters, newspapers, grocery labels and menus. The AzTAP Assistive Technology (AT) Specialist who was working with Brenda quickly learned that she was fearful of technology and did not have computer, an iPad or other tablet or even a cell phone. The AT Specialist walked Brenda through the basic features, operation and costs for a range of devices and discussed how each could be used in different environments. She had a preference for one of the devices and demonstrated the ability to use it to enlarge text and read the words. She asked if she could borrower it for a longer trial period at home. While the AT Specialist was getting the device ready for the loan, Brenda had a change of heart and decided that she was not ready for a more sophisticated device and would continue to use her own magnifier. The AT Specialist encouraged Brenda to have a low vision evaluation from a local vendor to explore alternative low vision strategies. The AzTAP demonstration helped Brenda and her sister decide that a high-tech video magnifier was not something she wanted at this time, thus avoiding spending money on a device that was likely to be abandoned. Brenda and her sister shared that they were highly satisfied with the outcomes of their device demonstration.

B. Description of Training Activities

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

Two years ago, AzTAP formed the “ATP Study Group”, a unique training initiative that focuses on helping professionals who provide assistive technology (AT) services across disciplines in Arizona to prepare to take and pass the RESNA ATP Certification examination. Our goal is to build capacity supporting the professional development and qualifications of AT service providers in Arizona. This year the group met on a monthly basis to address specific AT knowledge areas likely to be covered on the exam. Six of the members committed to taking the exam during this fiscal year and all six – 100% - passed the test. They are now entitled to use the "ATP" designation (Assistive Technology Professional) after their name.

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

As part of a collaborative project involving the Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council, Rehabilitative Services Administration, the Arizona Division of Developmental Disabilities, Employment First and the Institute for Human Development at NAU, AzTAP was responsible for coordinating a statewide workshop for service providers that focused on Competitive, Integrated Employment for persons with significant disabilities. The 60 participants learned how to share effective strategies for talking about competitive integrated employment, building acceptance for new ideas, developing action plans, engaging stakeholders and identifying assistive technology resources.

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

Two breakout sessions on ICT accessibility were offered for continuing education credit during AzTAP's annual conference in July: (1) A Font of Information: Getting Started with Accessibility and (2) Making Documents and Presentations Accessible Using Microsoft Office.

B. Description of Technical Assistance

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

AzTAP was contacted by Arizona State University’s (ASU) Accessibility (ADA) Compliance Coordinator and the campus architectural engineers to discuss how they could improve new buildings being built on campus to support students, staff and visitors with hearing loss. They will eventually be adding on systems to their older buildings as well. As part of the TA provided, we explained the various types of Assistive Listening Devices (ALD’s); Induction Loop Systems; implications for people who use Telephone (T-coils), hearing aids, Cochlear and Baha Implants; who ASU could they contact to get bids for installing Induction Loop Systems; potential vendors for purchasing various ALD systems. We discussed the differences associated with using FM systems, Infrared systems and Bluetooth. We also introduced the ADA Coordinator to other hearing-related resources including Arizona’s Health Program Coordinator at the Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and a well-respected ASU Clinical Profe

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

No TA for transition-related issues were requested of AzTAP during this fiscal year.
