Gerardo from Tooele needed a stair lift, but had very little income. He had spinal stenosis, arthritis and back problems. His grandson also had a disability and was able to get a loan through UATP for a refurbished stair lift to help his grandfather. It has been hard to collect more information due to language barriers, but it is safe to say that the assistive technology went to someone who would not have been able to receive it without UATP's help. The stair lift makes it possible for Gerardo to access all levels of his home, increasing his independence and safety.
Sheryl Horspool of Sandy received an AT loan for hearing aids. "I didn't want to pay a big chunk of my money," she said, especially when times feel so uncertain. The loan helped her to obtain the hearing aids while paying payments, which were more manageable. She also paid less in interest than she would have otherwise.

Parts from a tilt wheelchair, a 20 inch cart wheel and a grate were all repurposed for a side car for Parker Layton of the greater Salt Lake City area. The young client loves to go on bike rides with his family, but he can no longer fit in a bike carrier. A number of custom made parts went into the project as well. Plans for the side car will be made available on instructables in the future. Volunteer Mike Stokes led this project, and anonymous donors paid for it.

UATP’s demonstration and loan program has helped people in southeastern Utah receive the equipment they need, helping them remain independent. Paul Goodrich, a doctor of physical therapy in Monticello, has been partnering with UATP to help his clients. “In general there’s pretty limited access to care, especially on the Navajo reservation,” he said. Clients often hesitate to spend their money on a piece of equipment they will only use for a month after surgery—or they simply can’t afford it. “I had a lady, she lives on dirt roads out of town, and she didn’t have anybody to help care for her. She’d walk with this old upright walker. It was really awkward wit it was the only thing she had.” The woman had had a stroke years before, and an unrelated problem brought her to the hospital this year. She had been very limited in her mobility until then. “She didn’t realize she could do it differently,” he said. The hospitalization brought her to Goodrich’s attention, and he turned to Cameron Cressall at UATP in the Uintah Basin for an equipment loan. UATP allows people to try equipment before they purchase it, to make sure it really will work for them. “Cameron dug through storage and found this knee brace. It turned out to fit her perfectly.” They also found a better walker and shower seat, and her independence increased dramatically. Other clients have also benefitted from UATP loans, Goodrich said. “I told Cameron maybe I could count on one piece of equipment a month, but instead we’ve done one a week,” he said. Other therapistsw have started working with UATP as well. “I think it’s an awesome program and it’s needed,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of good out of it.”

A client came into the Logan Demonstration and Loan Library, looking for a better way to put on his socks. He was experiencing significant back pain and was having difficulty getting dressed. He borrowed a sock assist device, and when it was time to bring it back he said he said he would buy one of his own because it really helped him.

Describe Innovative one high-impact assistance activity that is not related to transition:
Dan helped a new professor at Utah State University who oversaw the AAC demo library for another department. He shared the NATADS database for her to use in keeping her equipment organized and to use to loan it out, which she had not been open to until that point. Through this we increased community access to AAC equipment.

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.

1. UATP launched a podcast in June 2020. Four half-hour episodes were produced in the 2019-2020 fiscal year and they have been downloaded a total of 165 times, but one of the side-benefits is a closer networking with individuals and agencies with an interest in assistive technology.
2. UATP volunteer Mike Stokes developed an affordable, therapeutic trike that could be made mostly from PVC parts. After he worked with UATP in Logan on perfecting the design, he and Logan coordinator Dan O'Crowley developed step-by-step instructions, posted them on the Instructables website, and worked with intern Diego Mendiola to produce a video of all the steps required to make the trike. We publicized the instructions on the blog and in other organizations' blogs. The video, posted in June, has been viewed more than 1000 times. The effort has combined both training and public awareness to bring affordable equipment to people everywhere.
