D. Anecdote
Ada S. is an elderly lady who has been utilizing both our CARAT and lending library services for several months, since falling and breaking her hip. Ada has gotten multiple items including a bed rail, shower chair, walker, and gait belt from our CARAT program. Ada lives on a very limited income and says she would have been unable to purchase these items for herself. These items have helped Ada to be more independent and to also do everyday activities safely. Ada is currently living with her daughter, who says that our center has been a “Godsend” and that the items from CARAT, as well as a transfer board they are borrowing from the lending library, have made taking care of her mom, much easier and safer for everyone. They hope to be able to donate these items back to HDI CATS upon Ada’s recovery.

E. Anecdote
Tammy Maynard works for Visually Impaired Preschool Services (VIPS), an organization that works with children ages birth to 3 years old who have visual impairments. VIPS provides early intervention and family programs for parents, teachers, and children. They provide services both at home and in the classroom. Currently, Ms. Maynard is working with several children who have Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI). CVI is a temporary or permanent visual impairment caused by a disturbance of the posterior visual pathways and/or occipital lobes of the brain. Ms. Maynard has checked out several items for use with these children including, mini light boxes, oval texture multisensory switch, lightbox pictures, iPad 12.9” with case and stand. She has also checked out several switch adapted sensory toys. Being able to borrow these items from our lending library has been very beneficial to her and the children in the VIPS program. Borrowing items allows Ms. Maynard an opportunity to have multiple items to utilize with children with varied degrees of visual impairment. Some of the items, such as the iPad, are being used for a trial basis, to help make a decision in purchasing. Ms. Maynard has expressed her gratitude for our center and says she will continue to take advantage of our services.

D. Anecdote
A young child with a cochlear implant was hearing sounds for the first time and needed to improve her sound awareness and identification of sounds. An ATRC team member demonstrated several sound producing puzzles to see if the child could identify a sound associated with a picture on the puzzle. The demonstration of the sound producing puzzles allowed the family to see if this would be a good option to help the child improve her sound awareness and overcome the barrier of a hearing impairment. The ATRC collaborated with the child’s family, interpreter and speech therapist who were all present and participated in the demonstration. The child interacted with the items and showed increased engagement as well as increased motivation to participate in vocal play. The sound producing puzzles will help expand this child’s play skills, improve cognition, and assist her with increasing familiarization with sounds in her environment and will improve her access to education.

B. Description of Training Activities
Describe innovative one high-impact assistance training activity conducted during the reporting period:
Our Western KY Regional AT Center hosted an adapted vehicle training workshop called "Go Baby Go!". The workshop provides adapted ride-on cars to infants and toddlers with limited mobility. Five children with disabilities received battery-operated, ride-on cars modified so each driver could make it go forward or backward by pushing a large button on the steering wheel. The workshop was conducted by John Koshy, an engineer from GoBabyGo!, and Jana Billingsly, ATP from the Western KY Regional AT Center. The intended audience of Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Assistive Technology Specialists, Electricians, and Engineers gained information about how to adapt a ride-on vehicle for children with limited mobility. They were provided with hands-on experience adapting a ride-on vehicle and fitting the child with proper supports. Five children received modified ride-on cars that will allow them to explore their environment and participate in age appropriate activities. See: https://www.owensborotimes.com/life/2019/02/gobabygo-provides-independence-for-kids-at-wendell-foster/ for article about the event.
Breifly describe one training activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
Our Western KY AT Center hosted a one-day training, "Creating an individual plan for parents/ guardians" designed to explore areas related to planning for the future of a child with a disability, including guardianship, health care powers of attorney, financial powers of attorney, and special needs trusts. The target audience included Parents, guardians, and extended family. The goal was to provide families with information that will enable them to make informed decisions. Families were able to gain valuable knowledge from a special needs attorney. The training was provided by Michele Cecil, Attorney at Law. The center also hosted another training, called "Advocacy Throughout the Lifespan". This session was conducted by David DeSanctis, self-advocate, motivational speaker, lead character in the feature film “Where Hope Grows” and member of the Commonwealth Council on Developmental Disabilities and Nicole Maher, Self-Advocacy Coordinator, for the Commonwealth Council on Developmental Disabilities and mother of a 19-year old daughter with Down syndrome. The objective of this training was to learn how to advocate for yourself and/or your child or adult with a disability. The target audience was adults with disabilities, parents, guardians, and extended family. The goal was to learn from a self-advocate and a parent about how to advocate effectively in a variety of situations. Attendees were able to learn practical information that will help them in their advocacy efforts.
Breifly describe one training activity related to Information and Communication Technology accessibility:
Jimmy Brown, KATS Program Coordinator and Carol Weber, OVR Rehab Tech Branch Manager, conducted a training session at the annual EEO conference hosted by the KY Personnel Cabinet. The session focused on the basic steps of creating an accessible Word Document, converting the document to an accessible PDF and how to test existing Word and PDF documents for accessibility. Attendees included both State government employees and Private Sector employers. Attendees were encouraged to bring their own laptops to follow along with the trainers in creating an accessible word document from scratch.

B. Description of Technical Assistance
Describe Innovative one high-impact assistance activity that is not related to transition:
KATS provided technical assistance to the state Personnel Cabinet on developing an accessible time sheet for state employees to report work time on. KATS collaborated with OVR to develop and test the time sheets. Prior to this, state employees using screen readers would have to rely on a sighted coworker to complete their time sheets for them. KATS also worked with the cabinet on making sure information on insurance and other employee benefits were provided in an accessible format. As a result of this TA, a workgroup was created to address ongoing accessibility needs for state employees. The workgroup consists of staff from KATS, OVR, Personnel and representatives of the State ADA Coordinators. The workgroup meets monthly via zoom webinar platform and in person as needed.

1. The KATS Network and its Regional AT Center in Owensboro co-sponsored a Special Needs Expo at the Convention Center in downtown Owensboro. Families attending were able to learn valuable information about the services and programs offered in this community, and the agents attending also learn as vendors. Vendors included booths set up with information on adult day services, advocacy and support, assistive technology, behavior supports and early childhood information. The expo also offers employment information, future planning help, health and rehabilitation vendors, recreation and waivers. In addition to the vendors, Ambucs trike screenings were provided by Wendell Foster’s Physical Therapists on site. There was also a sensory room available for those needing to take a break during the event. The event was advertised in local newspapers and Facebook, with a reach of (est.) 48,000 readers and subscribers. There were over 400 families in attendance. An article was published at https://www.owensborotimes.com/features/non-profits/2019/07/wendell-foster-hosting-second-special-needs-expo/
2. Our Owensboro regional AT center hosted an Open House event in celebration of AT Awareness Day on March 27, 2019. The event provided information on AT Funding resources, AT Demos, switch adapted toys, AT Reuse, among others.
