D. Anecdote

October 30, 2016 a physical therapist borrowed a “reassigned” Pacer gait trainer with several positioning components form our Charlotte AT center for a child on her caseload. In February 2017, the therapist, child and parents returned to the AT center. Originally, the child would just stand with assistance. She did not walk or move once standing. After using the Pacer gait trainer, she progressed to walking. The therapist then removed the positioning components on the trainer. In February the child, dad and therapist came back to the center to return the Pacer to the reassignment program and to try a different less supportive style walker. The AT Consultant provided them an open ended loan of a Gator walker without any positioning components. The therapist and the AT Consultant both think that in a short-time they will be back to look at a different style and even less supportive walker. If the family had to purchase this equipment, the Pacer would have cost approximately $2000.00 AND would have taken 2 to 3 months to obtain. By using the reassignment program, they received the device immediately and within 4 months she had progressed to a less supportive piece of equipment. The loaned (open-ended) Gator walker would have been approximately $400.00. This is a total cost savings to the family and/or medical insurance of $2,600.00. In addition, the little girl became much more independent and gave the AT consultant a big hug and a thank you for giving her a “pretty blue walker” to take home.

E. Anecdote

Lynn has worked with NCATP since 2002. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and was having difficulty managing basic activities of daily living. Initially, NCATP showed Lynne strategies that would help her use a computer and access kitchen appliances from her wheelchair. Lynn borrowed several independent living devices assisting her in the kitchen and with her daily living/dressing needs. She also borrowed a keyboard and mouse that allowed her to access the computer. She was grateful for being able to better manage routine daily tasks. However, it was her new-found access to using her computer that led Lynn to champion assistive technology services for herself, her family and the entire state of North Carolina! Growing up, Lynn loved to write, and that passion was reintroduced to her with assessable computer access. As the Multiple Sclerosis progressed, Lynn lost the ability to speak and use her extremities, she once again thought that was the end of her life long passion for writing. NCATP was able to show her how she could use eye control for both spoken and written communication and provided her a short-term loan of an eye control and speech communication system while assisting her with a funding application. Lynn excelled using the technology. However, the Multiple Sclerosis continued to progress, and she was eventually admitted to a hospice facility. It was then that she decided to write her own book, using the eye gaze computer, one letter selected at a time. In 2013 her book “Living Among the Dying” was published. In her book Lynn expresses her journey finding joy and happiness in the midst of a debilitating disease. Without the assistive technology to enable her expression, her wisdom and compassion would be forever lost.

I. Notes:

The NCATP database crashed during fy 2016 and all data and equipment records were lost. This impacted the data for this fiscal year due to having limited capability to collect required data elements. During this fiscal, NCATP created an internal access data collection system and entered all equipment. The system was fully functional during the last 6 months of the year; therefore, loan data in this section reflects loans provided for half of the federal fiscal year.

D. Anecdote

In the past year the Charlotte NCATP center hosed visitors from the countries of Nigeria, China, and Georgia. The visitors were shown demonstrations of several types of assistive technology including items for computer access, low vision, daily living, and communication. The delegates who were from organizations working with individuals with disabilities in their respective countries were interested in assisting people in their communities to obtain these types of devices. Most delegates mentioned that their goal was to help individuals have access to assistive technology devices and to remain independent.

B. Description of Training Activities

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

Two of NCATP’s Speech Language Pathologist, Lauren Zubow and Celeste Helling, conducted a workshop session titled AAC Decision Making for Adult Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities; Framework and Case Study Review at the American Speech-Language Hearing (ASHA) Convention held in Los Angeles California. The presentation was designed to assist clinicians working with adult clients in need of an augmentative communication systems. This population includes individuals with intellectual disability, autism, cerebral palsy, and deafness. Individuals typically have varying degrees of functional communication and understanding of language. Given the complexity of the AAC evaluation process, the diversity of persons requiring quality assessments and the overwhelming choices of assistive technology devices and AAC systems, the team provided processes for a systematic, comprehensive approach to observing and interpreting communication behaviors critical to the goal of successful AAC use. Using current research and evidence based practice, this presentation addressed the evaluation and recommendation process for this population from a clinical standpoint and provided case study reflections on successes and failures as well as ideas for implementation of evidence based practices relevant to adult individuals with intellectual disabilities.

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

A 21-year-old student with intellectual, speech, and visual impairments was referred to NCATP during her final months of classes at the UNC-Chapel Hill campus where they teach functional, educational tasks as the students prepare to transition into community and employment settings. While in school the student used the school’s iPad and her own iPhone with apps to assist with educational and community tasks. Her iPhone was difficult for her to see due to her visual impairment. Her teacher also stated that the student’s communication may be difficult for others to understand “sometimes” even with familiar listeners. The NCATP referral was made to help with the transition process as she moved into her first apartment and to increase her responsibilities at her job (dining room attendant at a restaurant) by creating a visual schedule to learn new tasks. The AT specialist recommended that the student obtain an iPad with apps for communication, work organization, reminders, and banking. The AT consultant also recommended an app to create a video resume showing the employer her skill sets and strengths. For independent living assistance, the Amazon Echo was demonstrated and recommended to control her lights (on, off and different colors), music, and to set up alarms/reminders, obtain recipes, get weather updates, stay organized/manage time, create to do and shopping lists, and several other daily living tasks including the Ask My Buddy skill which will allow her to call designated contacts for assistance if needed. The student reports that she “loves it” and her staff/family states that they are optimistic about her increasing her independence with the new technology that is in place.

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

At the request of the State Employees Credit Union of the Carolinas, NCATP and Disability Rights North Carolina conducted a joint presentation on web accessibility and its legal ramifications on Sept. 12, 2017. Holly Stiles, Senior Attorney with Disability Rights North Carolina and Lynne Deese, Assistive Technologist with North Carolina Assistive Technology conducted both an online and face-to-face presentation entitled Accessibility: Good Business Practice and Legally Required. Ms. Stiles mapped out the impact of web accessibility as a civil right while Ms. Deese introduced the aspects of creating a perceivable, operable, understandable and robust web site (POUR Site). Resources such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, lists of tools for analyzing web site accessibility, suggested assistive technology for evaluating sites as well as companies that provide assessment services were offered to participants.

B. Description of Technical Assistance

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

Tammy Koger, NCATP Director, has been working with NC Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and the Division of Services for the Blind for the past year addressing accommodations and accessibility requirements for their new case management system, ENCORE. Technical assistance has been provided to the project management team to ensure that the request for proposal covers accessibility across all function areas. The RFP includes accommodations for vision, hearing, mobility, and learning disabilities. Specific interest and assistance has been provided in the area of tracking and working with students in transition. Due to the system requiring an interface for the students and the counselors, NCATP has provided feedback and assistance regarding required features for accessibility that will allow students and others to access the system via tablets and/or phones.

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

In the spring of 2017, NCATP hosted two workshops focusing on military veterans and farming. The workshops “Addressing the Needs of the Veteran Farmer” was co-hosted with NC A&T University and took place in the western and eastern parts of the state. Veterans transitioning out of the military or who had recently transitioned who were interested in occupations in farming were invited to speak and take part in the one day workshops. Workshop sessions focused on state and federal resources for veterans and farmers; assistive technology and farm assessments; entrepreneurship, and the NC AgrAbility program. Veterans were provided demonstrations on farm equipment, farm safety, and several types of assistive technology for farming. Referrals for several farmers were made to local and state agencies such as the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, NC Farm Services, and the Farm Bureau. Due to the success of the workshops, NCATP has established relationships with the NC Farmer Veteran P
