Parents needed an accessible van with a lift for their 13-year-old son who has Cerebral Palsy. Their old van was falling apart, and their son was getting too heavy to transfer into it. Their past payment history was great, but the dad had been unable to work for several months during the pandemic and had gotten behind on some bills. He returned to work and caught up on all his payments, but their credit score suffered. IATP staff helped them with their search to find an affordable van. The loan review committee voted to guarantee the loan and we received this letter of thanks... "Being thankful would be an understatement for how our family feels at this moment. K*** has so many more opportunities now. Going from a transfer process to van with a lift will affects his everyday life. Now traveling to out of state doctors with a vehicle meeting K***’s needs won’t be so strenuous, especially after surgeries. Our life is crazy enough and when Idaho Assistive Technology was able to step in, the possibilities changed for us. We had issues getting financial help and IATP staff was able to get the bank to look deeper in our situation and persuade them to take us in. They were able to give us the chance we desperately needed to better our son's life. K*** is one happy boy thanks to Idaho Assistive Technology!"
A gentleman contacted us because he needed hearing aids to continue substitute teaching to supplement his retirement income. His loan could not be approved without our guarantee because he and his wife have paid cash for everything in recent years and so had no credit score. They were actively pursuing resolution of a few derogatory marks on their credit report. Both had stable income through social security and Native American fund income. Our program was able to help him get the hearing aids he needed and at the same time help them build on their credit score.

A woman contacted our office because she had several pieces of equipment she wanted to either sell or give away. The equipment had been used by her husband who had recently passed away. It was suggested to her to add the devices to our website so that they could be seen by people from around the state. In visiting with her about the website and her items, it was discovered that one of the items was a Hoyer lift. Then, later that same day, a medical discharge planer was helping a family whose father was about to be sent home from the hospital. They were looking for a Hoyer lift. IATP staff was able to connect the woman who had the lift, with the family that was in need of a lift.

As expected, data this FY has been effected by Covid-19. As people remain home, postpone medical procedures and do not travel, we find they are needing less assistive devices. The good news is that we have worked extremely closely with our statewide partners to make sure the needs of the public are met during this difficult time.

We frequently lend communication devices to speech language pathologists working in school settings. This service helps the professional assist the families in making proper choices for the students. One of our borrowers wrote, "I just wanted to thank you and Idaho Assistive Technology for allowing us to use your lending library. I truly appreciate how easy it has been working with you and how knowledgeable and kind you are... Through Idaho Assistive Technology, my students were able to trial a wide variety of speech generating devices. This service has been invaluable and has allowed me to assist my students and their families in selecting a speech generating device that best meets their individual needs prior to purchasing. In fact, one of my students was just approved by their insurance to receive their very own speech generating device and it will be arriving any day! Thanks again for all of your help."

The Length of Loan average is higher than the standard 35 days because we extended many of our loans due to Covid-19 as staff were working remotely from home and could not gather devices back into the libraries. As time when on and we were able to gather supplies of PPE at our locations we were able to slowly bring devices back into the libraries, using curbside pick-up and drop-off since out office buildings were closed to the public.

A woman came to one of our Equipment Lending Library and Demonstration Centers looking for a device to help her hear people when they are speaking to her. She was shown a PockeTalker and TV Ears where she could see the pros and cons or each device. She really liked the Pocketalker and borrowed it to trial at home. She also liked the TV ears I have from Amazon since they have big buttons with texture for volume up/down. She had a really similar set already but the buttons were too small for her to use easily. One of the features of the PockeTalker she was excited about was that she could turn the volume up on the PockeTalker when talking to people because the buttons were large enough. She did mention though that she’d probably end up turning the volume down with her husband!

Describe innovative one high-impact assistance training activity conducted during the reporting period:
When the COVID-19 lockdown began impacting visitation in senior residential facilities, we began a collaboration with the Area Agencies on Aging statewide, Idaho Dept of Health and Welfare Division of Licensing and Certification, and IDHW Bureau of Facility Standards to provide training on technology for virtual visitation. We began by working with the AAA Ombudsmen in March to survey each long-term care facility on their use of video chat technologies to keep residents connected to families, and the primary obstacles the residents are experiencing to the use of that technology (cognitive issues, hearing loss, vision loss, physical limitations, staffing issues, etc.) An IATP staff member then presented online training on these technology access issues to directors of long-term facilities located across the state of Idaho. We are now working on a pilot Communication Access Program in one facility in each AAA Region, and are working with Region III on use of CARES Act funding to increase communication access and decrease social isolation in facilities in that region.
Briefly describe one training activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
The Annual Tools for Life: Secondary Transition and Technology Fair, was held in Pocatello, Idaho in March 2020. Attendees included high school students with disabilities, family members, educators and related professionals. The Fair was a chance for the transitioning students in attendance to learn about resources, tools, and organizations to support their goals related to education, employment, and independent living.
Briefly describe one training activity related to Information and Communication Technology accessibility:
The Idaho Digital Accessibility Consortium, along with IATP staff hosts a Facebook Live series called, the "Coffee Break Series." These live (and recorded for later viewing) sessions focus on topics such as, Introduction to Digital Accessibility, Hosting Accessible Virtual Events, Basic Rules for Social Media Accessibility and Alt Text, to name a few. Each presentation is a slow paced, informal presentation and open discussion on accessibility, including how to's and its importance.

Describe Innovative one high-impact assistance activity that is not related to transition:
As Covid-19 hit our state, it became very apparent that consumers needed a way to be able to connect with their health professionals from a distance. The emergence of Telehealth has been slow, but sure. But with the onslaught of Covid-19, telehealth has come front and center for many who cannot, or should not, go out in public. Idaho AT staff has built a strong collaboration with health care professionals to offer technical assistance in the area of telehealth. After meeting and discussing the issues facing distance communication and their patients, the Idaho AT Project has assisted getting technology into the hands of consumers. We have placed iPads with health care professional so they may provide medical consultations to their patience remotely. This has been done as a long-term loan until the Covid-19 concerns subside. We have also provided TA in making recommendations and supplying resources when entities have had the funds to move forward with their own purchases. We cont
Breifly describe one technical assistance activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
Idaho AT Project staff are permanent members of the Idaho Inter-agency Council on Secondary Transition. The council coordinates the annual Tools for Life: Secondary Transition and Technology Fair held around the state of Idaho. The Tools for Life Fair focuses on the transition needs of students graduating from high school. Information presented covers topics of interest to high school students, their families, teachers and service providers. This past March, we were able to host the16th Fair! Unfortunately, we have cancelled the 2021 Fair due to Covid-19 concerns. The Idaho AT Project also supports smaller regional transition events across the state.
Describe in detail at least one and no more than two innovative or high-impact public awareness activities conducted during this reporting period.

1. Before the pandemic invaded our lives, Idaho AT staff was able to provide information tables at various events around the state of Idaho. Events included Idaho State University's Occupational Therapy Summit, the Northern Rockies Association for the Education and Rehabilitation for the Blind and Visually Impaired, The annual Tools for Life: Secondary Transition and Technology Fair, and the Idaho State Independent Living Conference, to name a few. The IATP also continued to provide information and resources to consumers after Covid-19 hit, through social media outlets, Padlets, etc.

Needless to say, this year has been difficult and nothing we have ever experienced before. Idaho AT staff was still able to provide information and assistance to consumers throughout the state by working remotely from home. Contacts made through email went unaffected by remote working. Phone calls were routed to each staff member and were saved to each staff members' email to be sure none went unnoticed.

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.
Per a statewide survey, of the vast majority of long-term care facilities, IATP was able to understand the landscape of what is needed and available to scaleup distance communication in the facilities to combat social isolation and telehealth.
