D. Anecdote

A woman contacted the Adirondack Regional Technology Center at SUNY Plattsburgh. She was looking for a way to care for a family member who was unable to hold himself up in a regular shower chair while using the shower. Staff discussed many things, such as what type of shower/tub they have and the barriers they have to being able to provide care to their family member. The staff showed the woman an adapted shower chair, and the family decided to try it out. It has helped to provide hygiene care to the woman's family member, and they were able to borrow the item for a few months while they attempted to get insurance to purchase something similar for his use.

E. Anecdote

A man went to the AIM TRAID Center in Corning and was looking for a device to alert his mother when someone was at her house. Due to a hearing impairment, his mother was having difficulty with meals on wheels food deliveries and did not always hear them knocking. As a result, she didn’t always get her food. Her son was able to borrow an alarm system to try out and see if it helped before purchasing. He was very thankful for the TRAID program and the assistance of AIM staff.

D. Anecdote

A woman visited the Tech Works TRAID Center in New York City after her trackball stopped working. The trackball could no longer be purchased in the US, so she was able to try out a few models and determined others wouldn't work for her based upon visible features. By looking at pictures and features, she decided an n-ABLER trackball was the only one that had the features she was looking for. It is similar in appearance and function to her old trackball but adds the ability to scroll, which she was happy about. Tech Works was able to connect her with an agency staff member that could help her get the new trackball.

C. Description of Training Activities

Describe innovative one high-impact assistance training activity conducted during the reporting period:

Westchester Institute for Human Development staff hosted a training titled "STE'A'M Partnerships Make Robust Language Systems Available for Toddlers." Over 100 people attended the training, which reviewed strategies on how to form community partnerships and make AAC systems accessible to toddlers through 3D printing. The benefits of using 3D printed materials like keyguards was also discussed from a cost-savings perspective as well as customization to meet individual needs. Some of the partnerships that helped support the 3D printing program included Tikkun Olum Makers, Makers Making Change, and a local school in the Westchester area. The presentation highlighted some of the items they were able to create to support multisensory teaching. Many resources were shared including resources on 3D printing. The training was held virtually due to ongoing concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic and was uploaded to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcTTIOiDHLU

Briefly describe one training activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:

Long Island Communities of Practice staff presented a training titled "Learning Communities for Transition" to the Nassau County Regional Partnership Center. Hosted by the Long Island Regional Partnership Center and Family and Community Engagement Centers (FACE,) this training was held virtually attended by 100 people, many of who are professionals working in high schools and community-based agencies. The goal of this training was to bring together a variety of stakeholders who were responsible for improving post-school outcomes for students with disabilities. The staff presented on how TRAID can assist with the the positive outcomes with the help of assistive technology. The staff plans on participating in future FACE transition trainings in the future.

Briefly describe one training activity related to Information and Communication Technology accessibility:

Center for Assistive Technology staff guest lectured for 34 students in-person at the University at Buffalo. The students were a combination of undergraduate and graduate students and the course was titled Human Centered Design of Interactive Systems. The content focused around instruction in accessibility, usability, disability, accessible technology, WCAG standards, and assistive technology. As the students in the course have a background in engineering and not social sciences or disability-related-content, disability was first discussed and the variability within and between persons with disabilities. Then, following a user-centered approach, YouTube videos of users of ZoomText, JAWS, Tobii Eye Gaze, Head Mouse, and iOS Switch Control were viewed and discussed. The take-away for the students was your design should include accessibility.

B. Description of Technical Assistance

Describe Innovative one high-impact assistance activity that is not related to transition:

An Occupational Therapist from Harry Hoag Elementary School in Fort Plain contacted the UCP Utica TRAID program for assistance with a student who was having difficulty writing. The TRAID staff soon realized other students were having the same difficulties. From early February to mid-April 2021, TRAID evaluated the situation and worked with the OT staff to try different strategies with the students. After some trials, they settled on a multi-step plan using assistive technology to help each child learn to write while having a unique and more fun experience. The goal was that eventually the students would not need additional supports. This would keep students up to speed with composition, even when not handwriting. The CSE chair later sent a letter to the TRAID staff thanking them for their help. By mid-June 2021, the school updated staff on the success of one of the 2nd graders. He could now type the alphabet, no longer needed breaks after tasks, and had a decrease in behaviors.

Breifly describe one technical assistance activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:

Staff at Wraparound Services of the Hudson Valley (WSHV) developed Project Act, which aims to assist individuals transitioning from hospitals, nursing homes, or rehab facilities in the Hudson Valley region. Project Act repairs and donates equipment needed by older New Yorkers to transition out of congregate settings. In partnership with WSHV's community habilitation program, Project Act has been introduced to the Ulster County Office of the Aging. Staff are currently in the process of contacting various programs in their region like Tenbroeck Commons, Kingston Hospital, and the Northeast Rehabilitation Center. WSHV will be putting together an announcement for their listservs, which sent out to over 300 people. It will also be put up on their Facebook page promoted through brochures delivered to different physical therapy offices, nursing homes, rehab facilities as well. So far 10 individuals have benefited from Project Act, and staff anticipate many more will in the future.

1. On August 7th, the Access CNY TRAID Center partnered with the Golisano Center for Special Needs’ Fitness Inclusion Network for “TRAID on the TRAILS.” The event allowed individuals to try out adaptive cycles, kayaks, running chariots and other devices. It featured a group walk and roll, which showed people their options and ways to access equipment in the Syracuse area. The event highlighted the importance of inclusive fitness and active, healthy lifestyles for individuals in the disability community. TRAID on the Trails was also part of the official 1st Mile Canalway Challenge event. The Canalway Challenge invited people to discover and explore activities along New York’s canals and trails.

2. The Justice Center TRAID Director attended Outdoor Accessibility Day at John Dillon State park in Long Lake. The event included demonstrations of accessible outdoor cooking, nature walks, fishing, and camping. The TRAID area included small devices that could be viewed by attendees including adaptive cutlery, sensory items, and fishing items. Resources for payment and financing options were also shared with attendees. Equipment was borrowed from Southern Adirondack Independent Living Center (SAIL.) Staff from SAIL also attended and participated in many of the activities. The reaction from the public was very positive.

Coordination/Collaboration and State Improvement Outcomes

Overview of Coordination/Collaboration Activities

Coordination/Collaboration activities are not required. You may report up to two MAJOR coordination/collaboration activities for this reporting period. How many will you be reporting?

A. Coordination/Collaboration

1. As concisely as possible, describe the partnership initiative. What activities/services were provided? Who are the major collaborating organizations and what is their role? Who is served/benefited? What funding was used to implement the initiative?

With funding from the Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (DDPC), the Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD) has initiated a three-year project (4/1/2021 – 3/31/2024) that ensures the availability of enabling and/or assistive technology (ET/AT) for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The project will collaborate with four Technology-Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities (TRAID) Centers across New York State to support and provide ET/AT to identified project participants. These TRAID Centers include WIHD, the Center for Assistive Technology at the University at Buffalo, the Suffolk Independent Living Organization, and Southern Adirondack Independent Living Center. The TRAID Centers will be working with 3-4 individuals each after putting together an assessment tool. WIHD has also partnered with the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to administer their SIS-A assessment tool on all the participants. The TRAID Centers will focus on identifying and providing assistive and enabling technology that can help the individuals transition into alternative housing options. This will serve as a case study that could potentially impact innumerable others in similar situations across New York State.

2. As concisely as possible, describe the measurable results of the initiative and any lessons learned. How did access to AT change as a result of the coordination/collaboration/partnership? How did awareness of AT change as a result of the partnership? How did the reach of the state AT program change as a result of the partnership? What made the partnership successful? What would you change or wish you had done differently? Provided funding/resources are available, will the initiative continue or is this a one-time event? What advice would you give for replication of the initiative? Please include URL for initiative if available.

The Enabling and Assistive Technology to Promote Non-Certified Housing Initiative is in the beginning phases but will continue over a three year period. A link to the project can be found below: https://www.wihd.org/initiatives/et-at-technology-to-promote-independent-housing/
