An older woman contacted Assistive Technology for Kansans (ATK) to find out more about accessible telephones. She uses a standard telephone but can’t hear it. She is having surgery in regard to other health issues and is worried about missing calls from her medical team and family. ATK staff demonstrated a variety of phones and signalers. She was able to select a phone that worked well for her and got the information for a doorbell signaler. ATK staff helped her complete a Telecommunications Access Program (TAP) application, got a service provider to verify her disability, and the phone was in place the next week – in plenty of time before her surgery. She called to let us know that phone was working great!
A fourth grader has significant hearing loss in both ears. His parents insurance didn’t cover the full cost of the hearing aids he needed. His mom is a teacher and wasn’t comfortable approaching the school for funding assistance. Assistive Technology for Kansans (ATK) staff obtained $3,500 from private funders to cover the remaining costs. His mom and teacher say he’s like a different boy and tells everyone about new sounds he hears. He’s excited about his progress on his speech with the increased amplification and is eager to go to school every day now.

The best part of marching band is being at the games! At least that’s what Addie tells us. She received a power assist wheelchair from Assistive Technology for Kansans Reuse so she could keep up with her friends at school …band students cross a parking lot to get to the band building. She can even keep up when friends race up an incline to the cafeteria to grab lunch, no longer left behind. AND, it loads on the school bus with ease so she makes all the school home games. A special thanks to Addy’s friend who laid down on the sidewalk at the stadium to get this shot!

Assistive Technology for Kansans (ATK) staff have worked with Mia and her family since she was 18 months old. Now, Mia is a typical 7-year-old enjoying summer activities such as swimming, bike rides and going to the fair. She participated in Junior 4-H showing her sheep for the last 3 years. Her dad pulls her in a wagon since arena sawdust makes using her gait trainer difficult. Mia uses picture symbols and voice output rather than the spoken word. Mia has borrowed a number of devices and found out she send her communication messages more quickly using eye gaze technology to select the pictures. ATK staff are working on funding. This summer, Mia wasn’t ready to use the EyeGaze system in the showman ship ring so ATK staff loaned a simple AAC app for Mia’s iPad. When the judge asked his young junior showmanship questions (What is your sheep’s name, what does he eat…), Mia was ready with her answers.
