D. Anecdote
The Arkansas Alternative Financing Program (AFP) financed a modified vehicle for Susan Ganger was having extreme difficulty in acquiring proper transportation in her attempt to maintain her full-time job position. Ms. Ganger voiced disappointment regarding the pursuit of another modified vehicle to replace her existing modified van which was experiencing numerous mechanical failures. The situation continued to escalate until AFP became actively involved. Due to Ms. Ganger’s multiple sclerosis (which causes damage to the myelin coating around the nerve fibers of the central nervous system), she is permanently and completely disabled. She learned about AFP through one of the local van vendors and applied for a modified vehicle loan. Since Ms. Ganger is confined to a wheelchair and needs assistance with traveling to and from work and vital appointments, it was determined that Ms. Ganger needed a modified van with a transfer seat, hand gear, knob-steering wheel, and an easy lock device. AFP was successful in helping her acquire this recommended vehicle with a low-interest rate and affordable monthly loan payments. Since obtaining her modified vehicle, Ms. Ganger has increased her independence, quality of life and stabilized her employment reliability once again. She can operate her modified vehicle now without complications. This vehicle has appreciably improved her work attendance and ability to manage multiple medical and personal appointments which are required on a regular basis. AFP is proud to be a small part of re-establishing her work endeavor and boosting her confidence in being a productive citizen in her local community.

D. Anecdote
ICAN received a call from a long-time client, Elizabeth Isaacs. She called requesting to borrow a Knee Scooter, We began the loan process, asking if she’s able to get a note specifying the approval for this need. Elizabeth stated she has worked with ICAN and was ready with all necessary documentation. This statement alerted our staff member to ask if this would be a long-term need, Elizabeth affirmed and shared that this has been an ongoing process for her daughter for the last year with no prognosis date in sight just yet. We offered Elizabeth the option to receive a Knee Scooter from ICAN’s Reuse program, allowing for her to keep the scooter indefinitely or until her daughter’s ankle/foot has improved to resume normal gait. Elizabeth squealed her relief on the phone and confirmed that notion, asking when she could come to retrieve it. I offered an appointment slot within the hour for her, reviewing the newly implemented protocols ICAN has placed due to COVID-19, after hearing my spiel Elizabeth announced she would be there. During the transaction, Elizabeth shared with me the history behind her daughter’s injuries and shared that this would be a lifesaver for them during this turbulent time.

Describe innovative one high-impact assistance training activity conducted during the reporting period:
We provided assistance to a colleague from National Park College who requested assistance with a problem they were having with a PDF form and how it was being read by JAWS. We trained her on how to make a PDF more accessible and she was able to successfully produce her document. This will impact many students in the future now that she has a good working knowledge of this application.
Briefly describe one training activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
Briefly describe one training activity related to Information and Communication Technology accessibility:
10.24.2020: Presented a 2-hour session to 23 adult education professionals through Arkansas Adult Learning Resource Center about digital access and tools available that are built into Windows and Mac operating systems to assist with access. The following comments were received in webinar evaluations. Enjoyed the presentation and I felt like a new world was opened up to me as to creating info that is more accessible. I realized I have much to learn and to improve, but I can start with baby steps that were provided, which was good! It could easily seem overwhelming since there is so much to learn.

1. During the reporting year, ICAN formed a great partnership with a new college and we were given the opportunity to Speak to the new PT class at ACHE(Arkansas Colleges of Health Education)about the AT Program and how to access it. In this presentation, we highlighted the importance of thinking about AT every time they are assessing clients. We gave the class real word scenarios that help them realize the importance of the AT program when moving forward in their careers.
2. We created a module on 101/UAMS (University of Arkansas Medical Sciences)TBI/Institue for Digital Health & Innovation Collaboration, in which we gave a complete guide to accessing the ICAN program and how it is useful to all Arkansans.
