An older woman (100 years old) visited ATRC to get information on how she could continue to read and fill out documents for her real estate management business. The client was shown various magnification and OCR devices that could meet her needs. ATRC encouraged the client to borrow their chosen device before making a purchase. After about 4 weeks, the client had made her decision and purchased the Merlin HD Enhanced CCTV.

Re Validation warnings: "The number of borrowers is roughly equal to the number of devices loaned. Please ensure that devices being loaned are grouped together on loans going out to one borrower.": Borrowers tried out devices in ATRC facilities to determine which was of greatest interest to them. They typically borrow the device of interest (often just one). "The loan period by policy is greater than 35 days. This is a longer than typical loan period.": Our agency is typically able to honor a loan period of 6 weeks (42 days), unless demand for the item is high.

Describe innovative one high-impact assistance training activity conducted during the reporting period:
ATRC coordinated a one-hour accessible technology workshop focusing on the iPhone and iPad for individuals who are blind, visually impaired or have other print reading disabilities. The group consisted of seniors, students and professionals, and the goal was to introduce them to the accessibility features of these devices.
Briefly describe one training activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
Fifteen participants consisting of special education professionals at the college level participated in a workshop at the ATRC facilities. The workshop included information and demonstrations of dedicated augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, eye-gaze technology, switch accessibility, third-party software, and built-in accessibility features within computers and tablets, primarily the built-in screen reader Voiceover.
Briefly describe one training activity related to Information and Communication Technology accessibility:
ATRC often provides technical assistance for people who need help with tasks such as firm ware upgrades and help diagnosing basic software glitches. The training we provide on Information and Communication Technology Accessibility includes primarily information on website accessibility, accessible document formats, and accessible telephones.

Describe Innovative one high-impact assistance activity that is not related to transition:
ATRC provided technical assistance to a group of caregivers who then transferred that information to their clients. The technical assistance has expanded the possibilities for the participants to communicate, connect, develop skills and socialize. The participants range from adults with developmental to physical disabilities but are able to retain their abilities through the use of assistive technology such as communication and mobility. ATRC has provided demonstrations of various hand held digital magnifiers, speech apps, and built in accessibility features on computers/phones such as dictation and magnification. ATRC's technical assistance has resulted in a deeper understanding of current devices that will aid the caregivers when recommending possible solutions to the participants in their home or community.
Breifly describe one technical assistance activity related to transition conducted during the reporting period:
ATRC provides technical assistance to assist programs and agencies in the State in improving their services, management, policies, and/or outcomes via various means: in-person, electronic media, i.e. video, telephone, e-mail. Services rendered that can be found at ATRC are needs assessment, program planning or development, administrative or management consultation, and policy development.
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. If quantative numbers are available regarding the reach of the activity, please provide those: however, quantative data is not required.
1. Public awareness activities include public service announcements, internet outreach and social networking, radio and TV talk shows, news reports, newspaper stories, newsletters, brochures, and invitations to speak from various groups. ATRC has Informative workshops are featured with demonstrations on various AT software programs. Invitees include state representatives, teachers, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, vocational rehabilitation counselors and representatives from other organizations. ATRC is also featured annually in Generations Magazine, a publication for persons over fifty. The magazine is accompanied by a radio program on which our Executive Director, Barbara Fischlowitz-Leong, is featured. Both the magazine and the radio show highlight assistive technology (AT) for older persons. The magazine reaches approximately 25,000 subscribers, while the radio program is island wide, potentially reaching 1 million individuals on the island of Oahu.
2. Each year we participate in an average of six educational conferences and health expos. We also actively participate in Technology Day at the Capitol where promotional materials, brochures, and newsletters are available to provide information about our organization and assistive technology (AT). Our exhibits feature various AT devices and are targeted to the audience and theme of the event. ATRC's staff is experienced in delivering the services of the program and explaining the AT devices.

Out of all of our public awareness strategies, such as conferences, local workshops, presentations, the strategy that yields the most response is advertising through local periodicals and radio. Through this strategy we reach the consumer directly whereas other methods provide information to other professionals.
ATRC receives approximately 10% of client referrals statewide through our Rehabilitation Technology Services (RTS) contract with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR). Approximately 25% come from other nonprofit agencies in the community (Centers for Independent Living, Counsel on Aging, Abilities Unlimited). Approximately 10% come from academic institutions (University of Hawaii, DOE Special Education Department), and the remaining 55% hear about us through our advertising in periodicals and radio and word-of-mouth from clients.
