Minnesota is one of two states in the nation that has a Centralized AccommodationFund (CAF) for state employees. STAR manages the CAF program and has worked hard to raise awareness of assistive technology among state agencies through presentations, device demonstrations, and device loans. The STAR Program Coordinator is working with Minnesota's IT Services agency and is a member of their newly established Assistive Technology Technology Support Team. The mission of the team is to increase internal processes to increase state Executive Branch agency employees' access to assistive technology. The team is working to reduce the amount of time it takes to implement needed accommodations and resolve issues.

D. Anecdote

A 44-year-old wife and mother living and working with ALS borrowed a Tobii I16 to help her communicate with her family, caregivers, and co-workers. The Tobii allows her to communicate with text-to-speech software, email her work and her care team, as well as control parts of her environment with some of the additional built-in software. The consumer shared with us "words cannot express how grateful I am for the loan of the Tobii I16+ and the installation of smart bed control software. In addition to providing peace and comfort to my restless legs, ALSA has totally revolutionized bedtime with my 3+yo! It's been years since I was last able to read him a book without assistance. With this equipment, the intimacy of our bedtime has been restored! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

An individual living with ADHD reached out in search of technology that could assist him to work more efficiently at his job. He has trouble staying focused and completing tasks in a timely manner. We showed him the Livescribe pen, which he borrowed through the short-term loan program, and found it to be very helpful. This was his first time seeing and using technology like this. After the loan, he shared the experience with his Vocational Rehabilitation counselor and due to his hands-on experience they were comfortable buying the device for him.

D. Anecdote

We met with a consumer who is losing his vision. He shared this has been a difficult journey for him. He had gone through "adjustment to blindness training" and admitted that he was not open to learning and it was not helpful. We demonstrated how to use voice-over on his iPhone allowing him to once again feel comfortable using his device. We discussed ways to make his washer and dryer more accessible along with a number of small kitchen appliances. Demonstrating these tools got him excited about increasing his independence again. We discussed the benefit of "adjustment to blindness" training and he feels that at this time he would be more open to it so weworked with his county case manager to get him registered.

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

STAR is working with the state of Minnesota's IT department in an effort to improve the process for state employees in need of accommodations. Currently, the process is slow and frustrating for employees. We are looking at the Department of Defense's CAP (Computer/Electronic Accommodation) website as a model.

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

STAR is participating in a cross-agency collaboration to create a document entitled "Addressing AT Needs for Transition-Aged Students with IEPs" The team meets every two weeks to discuss and document the process for identifying and addressing the need for AT school to post-school, a transition within school environments, between home and school, etc.

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. STAR presented at Senior Community Services Independent Living Technology Conference "Reimagine Aging" as a keynote panelist. The panel discussed the power of technology and the potential that it has for seniors, increasing independence and allowing them to stay in their own homes longer. Many of the attendees we unfamiliar with assistive technology and the Minnesota STAR Program. This event was attended by industry professionals and because of attending we have scheduled a number of meetings and device loans already.

2. STAR has an ongoing relationship with the Department of Human Services Deaf Hard of Hearing division. Throughout the year we attended their advisory council meetings at each of their five regions. This gave us the opportunity to introduce ourselves and the AT Act Program to their current board members, answer any questions that they had and showcase various technologies.

Referral Types:

Due to STAR having an additional staff member and COVID restrictions being lifted we have resumed in-person meetings and presentations. We are collaborating with the state of Minnesota employee training group and presenting quarterly to new supervisors on assistive technology, accommodations, and document accessibility. Typically there are around 100 attendees at these training events. We were able to travel to a local college and meet with occupational therapy grad students, sharing information on AT and giving them hands-on access to devices. We have been meeting regularly with various groups within our state Department of Human Services (DHS) and have gotten an opportunity to present at the regional deaf/hard of hearing quarterly meetings to let team members know about our program and services. We also were able to present to the supervisor core for Senior Linkage line (SLL). SLL is a service where seniors and their caregivers can get recommendations for all different services. As

Referral Sources:

Through our collaboration with the Department of Human Services, we are learning that Senior Linkage Line and the Disability Hub customer service representatives are sending consumers to us from around the state. Additionally, we are seeing a fair number of inquiries coming from both County Caseworkers who serve individuals on Waivers and Home Health Nurses. We believe this increase is due to virtual presentations that we did throughout the year to various county workers. We continue to see steady numbers of inquiries coming from internet and social media searches.

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? 2

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?

STAR has been connecting with our Aging and Disability Resource Centers, Department of Human Services (Board of aging, Disability Services division, Live Well at Home Grant), and Centers for Independent Living for a few years. In the federal fiscal year '22, we identified a project to increase overall awareness of assistive technology. We are creating kiosk cards, newspapers, and Facebook ads along with informational videos. These resources will benefit all ages, but a focus will be placed on the Senior population. Additionally, 20 "AT Kit's" will be assembled and distributed to professionals who work directly with consumers. STAR provided the group with a list of items for the kits. The intent of the kits is to increase consumers' and caregivers' awareness of assistive technology. The advertisements are directing consumers to the MN STAR Program and we will direct people from there. The ADRC team completely funded this project with dollars from their CARES Act money.

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.

This project is still ongoing. We are expecting deliverables in December of '22. The team will be tracking internet analytics and STAR will monitor calls, loans, etc. The group has enjoyed working together. Many have commented that it is rare for agencies to collaborate and believe this project will be effective. Our hope is if the first video is successful we will be able to create more videos that are more specific, as this first video is an introduction to AT.

3. What focus areas(s) were addressed by the initiative?

Community Participation and Integration; Health; Aging; Aging and Disability Network / No Wrong Door; Information and Communication Technology / Remote Connectivity;

4. What AT Act authorized activity(s) were addressed?

Device Loan; Demonstration;

A.2 Coordination/Collaboration (Entry 2)

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?

STAR is working collaboratively with the state of Minnesota's IT department and ADA leaders to improve state employees' and state job applicants' access to assistive technology. STAR manages the State of Minnesota's Centralized Accommodation Fund and works directly with individuals who need accommodations. We have been very disheartened by the amount of time that it takes for individuals to receive the equipment or services that are needed to perform their job. Through ongoing communication, we have gotten the attention of leadership and are working collaboratively to create a portal for employees, ADA Coordinators, and supervisors to access and implement the products and services that the employee needs. Currently, Minnesota's IT department is covering the costs of creating and developing the online tool (meaning the dollars are coming from the state's general fund).

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.

Again, this is an ongoing project and we are not ready to offer any results. We are grateful to have the support of our IT department leadership team. We preparing to present this work to our Department of Management and Budget group as their buy-in will help this work reach the entire enterprise. Without their support, we will be able to move this project forward, but things will move a bit slower.

3. What focus areas(s) were addressed by the initiative?

Employment; Information and Communication Technology / Remote Connectivity;

4. What AT Act authorized activity(s) were addressed?

Technical Assistance;
