Free, gently-used durable medical equipment (DME) is available through a partnership with the state’s Assistive Technology Act Program, ABLE Tech, and the state’s Medicaid agency, the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA), also known as “SoonerCare.” Isaac and his caregiver contacted ABLE Tech's Device Reuse Program and were matched with a vehicle lift and a reclining wheelchair which he can use for as long as he needs. Although the program is free for every Oklahoman to utilize, SoonerCare members receive DME from the Reuse Program as a priority above the general public. Isaac and his caregiver were very happy with these items as they relieve the caregiver's back pain during transport and allow Isaac to enjoy community activities. "He’s very excited to be able to go out and loves to play in his swing and pool!"

Gail is employed at a call center that receives statewide calls for financial and disability-related resources. She started wearing hearing aids 6 months ago, and was having difficulties with the phone headset interfering with her hearing aids, causing pain and discomfort. The pain and discomfort was limiting her ability to work a full dedicated shift at the call center. Gail consulted with ABLE Tech staff for a device demonstration; it was identified she could use a Bluetooth streamer pairing her hearing aids to her computer allowing her to receive calls directly into her hearing aids. She can now comfortably work her full shift.

Describe innovative one high-impact assistance training activity conducted during the reporting period:
The inaugural event: Asset Creation and Preservation for People with Disabilities Conference was held in collaboration with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Oklahoma Assistive Technology Foundation (OkAT - non-profit partner), the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services, the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, along with Oklahoma ABLE Tech. The vision for this event focused on all people, including those with disabilities, and providing effective and meaningful opportunities to build assets, acquire wealth, and advance self-sufficiency. The long-term goal of this event is to improve asset development and preservation outcomes for individuals with disabilities by bringing together leaders in the disabilities and asset building communities, local, state and federal government, the financial services sector and public and private employers to discuss strategies for improving financial access for individuals across the spectrum of disabilities. The event was a two-day conference with day one activities targeted to assist people with disabilities and day two events focusing on assisting employers. ABLE Tech organized day one of the conference including inviting panel presenters and an assistive technology (AT) lab. The latter was available to enhance employers' knowledge in various AT that would enable those with disabilities to have successful employment. Attendance included 75 individuals who gave outstanding feedback on the event!
Breifly describe one training activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
Oklahoma ABLE Tech is a standing member of the Oklahoma Transition Council (OTC) and annually contributes to the Oklahoma Transition Institute (OTI) Conference through support, a two-day booth presence, and training sessions. ABLE Tech staff provided a Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology (AT) session on AT and Transition at the 14th annual OTI Conference with attendees comprising PK-12 educators, OTI team members, Career Tech staff, the Department of Rehabilitation Services staff, and parents, who all work to support students with disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Approximately 500 people attended the conference. In addition to this annual event, ABLE Tech staff provided targeted trainings to groups in other parts of the state as well as launched an online curriculum with a course on assistive technology and transition. The focus of the online curriculum is on helping special educators, related service providers, and school administrators know what best practices are for transitioning AT with students.
Breifly describe one training activity related to Information and Communication Technology accessibility:
Oklahoma ABLE Tech hosted the fourth “TechAccessOK” statewide conference addressing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Accessibility in Oklahoma City with 150 people in attendance. Presenters included high impact international, national, and state experts. Attendees represented individuals from Oklahoma state agencies, higher education institutions, and private businesses. This year the conference was two days which provided the opportunity for two strands of presentations. One strand was for those beginning to learn about ICT, and the second was for those who had a deeper understanding and application of ICT. Attendees provided excellent feedback on the conference!

Describe Innovative one high-impact assistance activity that is not related to transition:
Oklahoma ABLE Tech provides technical assistance in a variety of different ways to include: phone, email, virtual, and in-person and has created multiple documents to aid in the delivery of that technical assistance. To-date, ABLE Tech has created and maintains annually three technical assistance documents for the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) per a contract. These documents include information on best practice service and targets those serving children birth to graduation under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The Part B Assistive Technology (AT) Technical Assistance (TA) Document and the Accessible Educational Materials (AEM) TA Document focus on Pre-K through graduation. The Part C AT TA Document focuses on the birth to three population. The documents include specific information, including sample operational procedures, to assist local education agencies in the development of best practices for AT service delivery. Because of these guiding do
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 (AT) interventions and early literacy to all Early Intervention personnel statewide. To meet this goal, ABLE Tech has delivered in-person and virtual trainings to walk participants through topics including transitioning AT with children entering the local education agency as well as funding AT.
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. ABLE Tech understands the need to provide positive, innovative, and high-impact public awareness activities in Oklahoma and has introduced several new practices to reach others and share about programs and services. Using digital communication at Oklahoma State University to university personnel, ABLE Tech has seen a direct increase in the number of trainings and that have led to an increase in the skills and knowledge of assistive technology (AT) devices and services for those at the pre-service level. Incorporating the use of social media in sharing information about Reutilization programs has led to increased followers and use of the Device Reuse and Exchange Programs. To better accommodate the busy on-the-go personnel associated with the Early Intervention Program (which includes therapists, nurses, and child development specialists), ABLE Tech started distributing information via text messages. This public awareness activity has also led to an increased use of ABLE Tech programs.

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.
Oklahoma ABLE Tech, in partnership with the Oklahoma Assistive Technology Foundation (OkAT), received Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) from the U.S. Department of Treasury. CDFI certification is recognition of specialized financial institutions serving underserved populations. This positions the Financial Loan Program to increase capital in order to provide low-interest loans to individuals with disabilities statewide allowing them to purchase needed assistive technology (AT).
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.)
The Financial Loan Program policy has been revised to include a direct lending program as a result of these initiatives; these changes include underwriting, loan documentation, portfolio management, and collection policies and procedures.
