Describe innovative one high-impact assistance training activity conducted during the reporting period:
The CNMI Assistive Technology Program provided training on low tech assistive technology to forty-two (42) individuals with disabilities and eight (8) family members during the Center for Living Independently mini workshop in February of 2020. Training objectives were on low tech devices and or equipment that are inexpensive and off the shelf that can assist individuals with disabilities perform daily living tasks at home, at work and in their community.
Briefly describe one training activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
The CNMI Assistive Technology Program provided training to one (1) student with disability during a CIRCLES transition meeting in December of 2019. Training consisted of computer applications and devices that can be utilized by the student to assist with time management when they transition into college or the workforce. The CNMI Assistive Technology Program is a partner in the CNMI Transition Coalition which is involved in the community level team in the CIRCLES model. The CIRCLES model involves three levels of interagency collaborations that includes a Community Level Team, a School Level Team, and an IEP Team. These teams work together to address transition planning needs of students with disabilities to improve both their in-school outcomes (Aspel, Bettis, Quinn, Test & Wood, 1999; Provenmire-Kirk et al., 2015). The target population for CIRCLES includes students with disabilities who need support from multiple agencies to plan, provide, and facilitate support services directly to students and families who need involvement from multiple adult service providers.
Briefly describe one training activity related to Information and Communication Technology accessibility:
The CNMI Assistive Technology Program provided training on "How to Create Accessible PDF and MS Word documents" to (1) individual (family member). Training was conducted for the purpose of creating accessible materials for a relative with low-vision learning to use a screen reader.
