Section 4f requirements: (1) the type of State financing activities…used by the State; (2) the amount and type of assistance, including the number of applications for assistance received, the number of applications approved and rejected, the default rate for the financing activities, range and average interest rate for the financing activities, range and average income of approved applicants for the financing activities, and the types and dollar amounts of AT financed; (3) consumers of the State financing activities, who shall be classified by type of AT device or service and geographical distribution

A state financing activity is an activity approved as part of your State Plan for AT, such as the development of systems: to provide and pay for AT, for the purchase, lease, or other acquisition of, or payment for AT; or of State-financed or privately financed alternative financing systems of subsidies.

Examples of state financing activities include, but are not limited to administering financial loan programs, administering “last resort” activities funded with non-AT Act dollars, administering cooperative buying programs, administering telecommunications distribution programs, and other activities designed to provide consumers with resources and services that result in the acquisition of AT devices and services.

Overview of Activities Performed

Did your approved State Plan for this reporting period include conducting any State Financing activities? Check yes or leave unchecked. If yes, complete one or more of sections A, B, or C.

Financial Loan Programs

Did your approved State Plan include conducting a financial loan program? Check yes or leave unchecked.

Loan Applications

In this section, report on both revolving loans and partnership loans. Revolving loans are made directly by the Statewide AT Program. Partnership loans use dollars from another source, usually a financial institution, in which the statewide AT program has an investment through loan guarantee, agreement with a financial institution based on an investment deposit, interest or principal buy-down, or other financial or administrative role. Do not report loans in which the statewide AT program had no financial or administrative role, such as loans for which you simply made a referral to a lending source.

In the table below, report information on loan applications made by Rural Urban Continuum Code (RUCC) of the applicant’s county of residence and the decisions made about those applications. Include all applications that were processed to one of the three decisions shown in the table below (i.e., approved—loan not made, approved—loan made, or rejected) during this reporting period, even if the application was received prior to the start of the reporting period. Do not include applications not reviewed because they were not complete, were withdrawn before a final decision was made, or were still pending at the end of the reporting period. For guidance on how to classify the applicant’s area of residence as metro or non-metro, please see the “General Instructions.”

Income of Applicants to Whom Loans Were Made

This section collects data about the income of applicants to whom loans were made (i.e., those who were counted in row A of the table above). For purposes of this section, the income of these applicants is the gross annual income that the applicants reported on the loan applications (i.e., the amount upon which the decision about the loan was based.) This may be the income of the individual, the family, and/or one or more co-borrowers.

Enter the lowest and highest income reported among all applicants to whom loans were made during the reporting period:

Lowest: $______________

Highest: $______________

Use the table below to calculate the average gross annual income of applicants to whom loans were made. In Column A, enter the sum of the incomes reported by all applicants to whom loans were made. The system will divide that amount by the number of applicants to whom loans were made (as reported in row A of the table above to calculate the average income.

Types and Dollar Amounts of AT Financed

Use the table below to provide information on the types of devices or services financed and the dollar value of loans made for each type of device or service. Report devices/services only once in a category per loan. For guidance on how to classify devices and services, and decision rules for devices and services, refer to the General Instructions. Because a single loan may pay for more than one device or service, the number of devices and services reported in this table may exceed the number of loans. However, the total dollar value of loans should be the same as reported previously in 3.b.

For large building access projects or similar activities with multiple devices in one AT category, the numbers reported should reflect a logical access grouping (e.g., a bathroom modification or exterior ramping of a house would be a home modification). Where an AT service (such as an evaluation) was part of a financial loan, include that dollar amount in the appropriate AT category associated with the service (e.g., an audiological evaluation would go in the “hearing” category).

If the loan is a refinance, and the AT purchased with previous loan has never been reported, you should report the AT devices/services purchased with the previous loan as the AT associated with the refinance. (NOTE: If the refinance is of a previous loan and the AT purchased with the previous loan has been reported, the refinance should not be reported at all.)

(System will generate an error message if total dollar value of loans does not match amount reported in the Total Dollar Value of Revolving Loans and Partnership Loans calculated in Item 3(b) above.)

6. Defaults

In the first cell below, enter the number of loans that were in default during this reporting period. A loan is in default after 120 days in which the borrower has not made the scheduled payment for the balance still owed; or at which time the organization administering the loan paid the lending institution the remaining agreed upon balance of loan. Do not count any payments that may have been made by the loan administering organization on behalf of the borrower during that 120-day period as payments made by the borrower. (Rescue payments do not count as borrower payments and the 120 day clock continues

In the second cell below, enter the net dollar loss on defaulted loans. Net dollar loss on loans means the amount lost as a result of default during this reporting period after subtracting any funds that were recovered. It includes the amount that is unpaid on any loans in default and any loan guarantee payout amounts minus the amount of collateral recovered.

Number of Loans in Default	Net Dollar Loss on Loans

Note: If you have a loan in default for this reporting period and you reasonably believe you will be able to recoup some of the net dollar loss associated with this default during the next reporting period you can choose to defer reporting the default and the net dollar loss until the next reporting period. This should only occur when loans went into default later in the current reporting period and you have not had sufficient time to sell or otherwise recoup some of the value of the collateral.

State Financing Activities that Provide Consumers with resources and services that result in the acquisition of AT devices and services

Savings to Consumers, by Type of AT Device/Service

Use the table below to provide information on the number of devices or services provided to consumers and the savings to consumers resulting from this activity, by type of AT device or service. Report each device or service in only one category. For guidance on how to classify devices and services, and decision rules for devices and services that could be classified in more than one way, refer to the General Instructions.

For each type of AT device, enter the total estimated current purchase price of the devices and the total amount for which devices were sold. The system will calculate the resulting savings to consumers. Use the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) to determine the current purchase price of the device. If you are unable to find the exact price for a particular item, use the value of a comparable device. Using estimates is acceptable when exact pricing is not available. You may need to identify multiple similar devices and average to estimate a MSRP. If the device was given away, use a sale price of zero in your calculations.

Performance Measures

State financing activities are covered by the Acquisition Performance Measure. To collect data for this measure, statewide AT programs will collect follow-up information from consumers. Use data collected from consumers to complete the table below. Refer to the “General Instructions” for guidance on how to categorize the primary purpose for which AT devices/service are needed.

The total number of customers from whom data is reported must equal the sum of the number of individuals to whom financial loans were made (as reported in Section A.1.A) and the number of individuals served by other state financing activities who are included in performance measures (as reported in Sections B.2.E.ii and C.2.E.ii).

Notes

Section 4f requirement: the number, type, estimated value, and scope of assistive technology devices exchanged, repaired, recycled, or reutilized (including redistributed through device sales, loans, rentals, or donations) through the device reutilization activities, and an analysis of the individuals with disabilities that have benefited from the device reutilization activities

Device reuse includes device exchange activities and device reassignment/refurbishment and repair activities. It also includes open-ended device loans in which the borrower can keep the device for as long as it is needed, because these loans are considered a form of “acquisition.”

Device exchange activities are those in which devices are listed in a “want ad”-type posting and consumers can contact and arrange to obtain the device (either by purchasing it or obtaining it for free) from the current owner. Exchange activities do not involve warehousing inventory and do not include sanitation or refurbishing of used devices. In some cases, a Statewide AT Program serves as an intermediary directly involved in making this exchange; in other cases the consumer and current owner make this exchange without the involvement of the Statewide AT Program. Data on device exchange may be difficult to gather if your program does not serve as an intermediary directly involved in the exchange.

Device sanitation/refurbishment/repair activities are those in which devices are accepted (usually by donation) into an inventory; are sanitized and/or refurbished as needed; and then offered for sale, loan, rental, or give away to consumers as redistributed products. Repair activities are those in which device(s) are repaired for an individual (without the ownership of the device changing hands) which prevent the owner from needing to purchase a device.

Devices in a reuse inventory can be reassigned on a permanent basis to a new “owner” or provided as an open-ended loan to a borrower as long as required to meet a particular need. Open-ended device loans are generally distinguishable from short-term device loans by the length of the typical loan period. Open-ended loans are generally long term with the device placed with a consumer on an ongoing basis but done via loan rather than ownership transferring to the consumer.

Overview of Activities Performed

Did your approved State Plan for this reporting period include conducting any device reuse activities? Check yes or leave unchecked.

A. Number of Recipients of Reused Devices

In this table, report the number of recipients of devices through device exchange, reassignment/refurbishment and repair activities, and open-ended loans. In the table below, report on the number of individuals who receive devices through a reuse program. Recipients should be reported only once, even if they receive multiple devices during this reporting period. There are two reasons that individuals may be excluded from the Performance Measures --

Given the fact that many device exchange programs have little direct contact with device buyers, it may not be possible to collect information sufficient to include these individuals in the performance measures. Therefore, you can choose to exclude exchange device recipients from performance measure data reporting simply because you are unable to or it is too difficult to collect such data. Exchange is the only activity that offers this opt-out option for performance measure data.
Some entities that have an obligation to provide AT may provide it via reuse. For example, a school has an obligation to provide AT devices identified in an IEP and the school may obtain the device through the reuse program. In this case, the performance measure questions are not answerable by the school because the issues of affordability or availability are not allowable reasons to limit access to AT that has been identified as necessary by the IEP team. You should exclude from the performance measures device recipients who acquire reused devices under these circumstances.

If a number is reported in E. you must provide a description of the reason the individuals are excluded from the performance measure: _________________________________________

B. Device Exchange Activities

Enter the total number of devices exchanged (listed by one individual/entity and obtained by another) during the reporting period, by AT type. For each type of AT device, enter the total estimated current purchase price of the devices and the total amount for which the devices were exchanged. To report a device as “exchanged” you must have documentation of the price for which it was sold or exchanged. Use the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) to determine the current purchase price of the device. If you are unable to find the exact price for a particular item, use the value of a comparable device. You may need to identify multiple similar products and average to identify a MSRP. Using estimates is acceptable when exact pricing information is not available. If the device was given away, use a sale price of zero in your calculations. The system will calculate the resulting savings to consumers in the last column.

C. Device Refurbish/Repair - Reassignment and/or Open-ended Loan Activities

Enter the total number of devices sanitized/refurbished/repaired and acquired by an end user through reassignment or open-ended loan during the reporting period, by type. (Please remember that multiple devices within the same AT category grouped together for a function should be reported as one device. For each type of AT device acquired, enter the total estimated current purchase price of the device and total price for which the devices were sold. The system will calculate the savings to consumers. Use the MSRP for the current purchase price of the device. If you are unable to find the exact price for an item, use the value of a comparable device. You may need to identify multiple similar products and average for an MSRP. Using estimates is acceptable when exact pricing is not available. If the device was given away, use a sale price of zero in your calculations. NOTE: Open-ended loans are reported only once in the reporting period the loan is made; not in subsequent years even if the loan is still open.

Section 4f requirement: the number, type, and length of time of loans of assistive technology devices provided to individuals with disabilities, employers, public agencies, or public accommodations through the device loan program…and an analysis of individuals with disabilities who have benefited from the device loan program

Statewide AT programs provide short-term loans of AT devices to individuals or entities. The purpose of the loan may be to assist in decision making, to serve as a loaner while the consumer is waiting for device repair or funding, to provide an accommodation on a short-term basis for a time-limited event, for training, self-education or other professional development activities. Loans for the purpose of decision-making should be included in the access performance measure. Loans for all other purposes: providing a device during repair or while waiting for funding, providing an accommodation for a time-limited event, and training or personnel development should be included in the acquisition performance measure.

In this section, report only on short-term loans in which devices are borrowed for a limited or prescribed amount of time for one of the four purposes described in Section A. Based on national data, typical short-term loan periods range from between 30 and 45 calendar days. Device loans for significantly longer periods should be reviewed as possible open-ended loans, especially when the loan structure is done as an alternative to device ownership transferring to the consumer. Open-ended device loans, in which the device borrower can keep the device for as long as it is needed, should be reported under “Device Reuse.”

Overview of Activities Performed

Did your approved State Plan for this reporting period include conducting short-term device loans? check yes or leave unchecked.

Short-Term Device Loans by Type of Purpose

In this section, report the total number of short-term device loans made during the reporting period. A loan (counted as one) is defined as an occasion on which a device or devices were borrowed by an individual/entity who will use the device for one of the following purposes --

1) To make a decision (one decision) based on data, judgments, and other relevant information gained from trial use of the device in a natural environment with technical assistance available, upon request, from someone who has technical expertise related to the device(s) borrowed.

2) To provide loaner equipment during device repair or while waiting for funding (no decision is involved).

3) To provide an accommodation for a time-limited event such as a meeting or situation such as a hospital stay (no decision is involved). Device loans that provide access to education, employment, or community living for as long as the individual has the device out on loan should be reported as an open-ended loan.

4) To conduct training, self-education, or other professional development activities (no decision involved).

The number of short-term device loans will equal the number of borrowers reported in B, as each loan will be classified by the type of individual or entity that borrows. The number of loans will NOT necessarily equal the number of devices borrowed as reported in D as there may be multiple devices borrowed within a single loan.

Use the following guidelines to determine the number of short-term device loans made:

If the same individual or entity borrows devices on more than one occasion during the reporting period, count each occasion as a separate loan if a separate decision will be made.

If the same individual or entity borrows devices on more than one occasion during the reporting period and a single decision will be made, count that as one device loan.

If you extend the period of a short-term device loan, count that as a separate loan only if (1) the extension is for a different purpose than the original loan and a separate decision will be made; or (2) the borrower is an “intermediary” borrowing on behalf of others (e.g., a teacher), and the intermediary is requesting an extension to accommodate a second “end user” (i.e., an individual other than the one for whom the loan was initially made) and a second decision will be made.

Report the number of short-term device loans made by primary purpose of the loan. Count each loan in only one category, even if the loan included multiple devices. If at least one device included in the loan was obtained for the purpose of decision-making, report the loan in the first row.

Primary Purpose of Short-Term Device Loan	Number of Loans
Assist in decision making (device trial or evaluation)	Access Performance Measure

Notes

Section 4f requirement: the number and type of device demonstrations and referrals provided and an analysis of individuals with disabilities who have benefited from the demonstrations and referrals

Device demonstrations compare the features and benefits of a particular AT device or category of devices for an individual or small group of individuals. The purpose of a device demonstration is to enable an individual to make an informed choice.

Whenever possible, the participant should be shown a variety of devices. Device demonstrations should not be confused with training activities during which devices are demonstrated. Training activities are instructional events designed to increase knowledge, skills, and competencies, generally for larger audiences. Training can also be targeted/focused instruction for an individual or small group (such as in-depth training for an individual consumer on a specific AT device). This targeted training is for skill development whereas device demonstrations are for decision-making purposes.

Device demonstrations also should not be confused with public awareness activities at which devices are demonstrated. The key difference is that device demonstrations are intended to enable an individual to make an informed choice rather than merely making him or her aware of a variety of AT.

In a device demonstration for an individual, guided experience with the device(s) is provided to the participant with the assistance of someone who has technical expertise related to the device(s). This expert may be in the same location as the participant or may assist the participant through Internet or distance learning mechanism that provides real-time, effective communication to deliver the necessary device exploration. (See the instructions for further clarification and examples.)

As noted in the instructions for this section, a device demonstration referral is provision of information about a specific source where the customer may obtain additional information or services related to AT. A referral must provide a consumer with information on how to contact that source directly. Referrals may be made to funding sources, service providers, vendors, or repair services. Do not include referrals to other components of your statewide AT program. Report only on referrals that result from demonstration activities, not referrals made through an information and assistance activities.

Overview of Activities Performed

Did your approved State Plan for this reporting period include conduct device demonstrations? Check yes or leave unchecked.

Number of Device Demonstrations by Device Type

In this section, report the number of device demonstrations by type of device/service demonstrated during this reporting period. For guidance on how to categorize devices and services, refer to the “General Instructions.” A device demonstration (counted as one) is defined as an occasion in which one or more devices within a category are demonstrated to an individual or small group who will make a decision (one decision) based on data, judgments, comparisons and other relevant information gained from the interaction with the equipment and demonstrator. The number of device demonstrations will NOT necessarily equal the number of demonstration participants reported in B as there may be multiple participants in a demonstration even though only one decision will be made.

Description of training activities
Notes

Section 4f requirements: Training

1. “the number and general characteristics of individuals who participated in training…(such as individuals with disabilities, parents, educators, employers, providers of employment services, health care workers, counselors, other service providers, or vendors)”

2. ”the topics of such training”

3. “to the extent practicable, the geographic distribution of individuals who participated in the training.”

Transition: No explicit reporting requirement in Section 4f, but Section 4e includes requirement that statewide AT programs provide training and technical assistance to assist students with disabilities who receive transition services under IDEA and adults with disabilities maintaining or transitioning to community living. Section e also requires that at least 5% of the money spent on State Leadership activities be used for transition activities.

The AT Act of 1998, as amended provides a combined description of training and technical assistance (see Section-Specific Definitions). Following is guidance on what activities to report in this section and how to distinguish training activities from public awareness or technical assistance activities. Report each activity only once, in the appropriate section.

This section of the reporting form also collects information on training activities that are related to transition. Information on technical assistance activities related to transition should be reported in that section of the form. Reminder- each Statewide AT Program must report on at least one transition activity related to school transition (e.g., secondary school to post-school) AND one transition activity related to community living transition (e.g. congregate living to community living). The activity reported may be either a training event or a technical assistance initiative.

Training activities are instructional events, usually planned in advance for a specific purpose or audiences, which are designed to increase participants’ knowledge, skills, and competencies regarding AT. Such events can be delivered to large or small groups, in-person, or via telecommunications or other distance education mechanisms. In general, participants in training can be individually identified and could complete an evaluation of the training. Examples of training include classes, workshops, and presentations that have a goal of increasing skills, knowledge, and competency, as opposed to training intended only to increase general awareness of AT.

Distinguishing Training Activities from Public Awareness Activities

Training activities have more depth and breadth than public awareness activities and are focused on skill building and competency development. If the purpose of a training session is to create awareness, the training session should be classified as a public awareness activity. In general, participants in training can be individually identified, while in awareness activities, it may not be possible to identify each individually.

Working with individual consumers on how to use a particular AT device or troubleshooting problems with devices should be reported under “Information and Assistance.”

Distinguishing Training from Technical Assistance

Training is designed to teach, present, or guide individuals in order to impart knowledge, skills, and competencies. Technical assistance is focused on providing extensive assistance to state or local agencies or other entities (rather than individuals) and generally involves problem solving to achieve a mutually agreed-upon goal. Technical assistance may involve multiple contacts and interactions over an extended period of time.

In some cases, training may be a component of technical assistance. Training that is provided as part of technical assistance can be reported here, but only if the training was one of several technical assistance activities. If training was the only technical assistance activity, it can be reported as either training or technical assistance, but not both.

Overview of Activities Performed

Training activities are required and must be reported as described below.

Training Participants: Number and Types of Participants; Geographical Distribution
1. Enter the number of training participants by type. The participant may self-determine the appropriate descriptor for themselves or such information may be derived from other training event records. Use “unable to categorize” when no data can be obtained on type of participant.

Description of technical assistance activities
Notes

Section 4f requirements:

Technical Assistance

“The frequency of provision and nature of technical assistance provided to State and local agencies and other entities.”

Transition: No explicit reporting requirement in Section 4f, but Section 4e includes requirement that AT programs provide training and technical assistance to assist students with disabilities who receive transition services under IDEA and adults with disabilities maintaining or transitioning to community living. Section e also requires that at least 5% of the money spent on State Leadership activities be used for transition activities.

The AT Act of 1998, as amended provides a combined description of training and technical assistance (see “General Definitions”). Additional descriptions of technical assistance activities are provided below, along with guidance for distinguishing technical assistance activities from public awareness activities and training activities.

Technical Assistance (TA) is defined as direct problem-solving service provided by Statewide AT Program staff to assist programs and agencies in improving their services, management, policies, and/or outcomes. TA may be provided in person, by electronic media such as telephone, video, or e-mail, and by other means. The following are examples of technical assistance: needs assessment, program planning or development, curriculum or materials development, administrative or management consultation, program evaluation and site reviews of external organizations, and policy development.

Mandatory transition activities that are technical assistance are reported in this section; mandatory transition activities that are training are reported in the training section. Reminder- each Statewide AT Program must report on at least one transition activity related to school transition (e.g., secondary school to post-school) AND one transition activity related to community living (e.g. maintaining or transitioning to community living). The activity reported may be either a training event or a technical assistance initiative.

Distinguishing Technical Assistance from Information & Assistance

Technical assistance is provided to agencies or other organizations, not to individuals. Intensive support provided to an individual, for example assisting an individual troubleshoot problems with an AT device or address a funding issue, is reported under information and assistance. Technical assistance typically includes multiple contacts/interactions over an extended period of time with an agency or organization. Less intensive support services, including single-contact requests for information or limited assistance from agencies or organizations should also be reported under information and assistance.

Distinguishing Technical Assistance from Training

Training is designed to teach, present, or guide individuals in order to impart knowledge, skills, and competencies to individuals, while technical assistance may be designed to help entities (not individuals) improve their policies, practices, and procedures and generally involve problem solving.

In some cases, training may be a component of technical assistance. Training that is provided as part of technical assistance can be reported in the training section, but only if the training was one of several technical assistance activities. If training was the only technical assistance activity, it can be reported as either training or technical assistance, but not both.

Overview of Activities Performed

Technical Assistance activities are required and all activities should be reported in the aggregate in Section A. One Technical Assistance activity must be described in Section B and a transition Technical Assistance activity must be reported unless a transition training activity was reported.

A. Frequency and Nature of Technical Assistance

Complete this section summarizing all major technical assistance activities that you conducted. Indicate the percentage of total technical assistance provided by the type of program or agency receiving the technical assistance. Use the person hours invested in each technical assistance activity to report the percentage by type of program or agency. For example, if you conducted two major TA activities this reporting period with 90 total person hours for an activity related to education and 50 person hours for an activity related to employment, you would report 64% in education and 36% in Employment.

Program or agency receiving technical assistance	Percentage of all TA
Education
Employment
Health, Allied Health, Rehabilitation
Community Living
Technology (Information Technology, Telecommunications, Assistive Technology)
Total	Must equal 100%

B. Description of Technical Assistance Activities

In Item 1 below, describe an innovative or high-impact technical assistance activity that is not related to transition. For this item, choose a technical assistance activity that had an outcome. In Item 2 below, describe a technical assistance activity that is related to transition. The transition technical assistance activity is not required to have an outcome.

1. Describe in detail one innovative or high-impact technical assistance activity conducted during this reporting period. Note who provided the technical assistance (e.g., type of expertise of staff) and characteristics of the recipient agency. In two sentences: (1) describe the topic, content, and/or approach of the technical assistance; and (2) summarize the positive result or impact of the technical assistance.

Narrative item- Each narrative is limited to 3000 characters. .

2. Briefly describe one technical assistance activity related to transition conducted during this reporting period. Note who provided the technical assistance (e.g., type of expertise of staff) and characteristics of the recipient agency.

Public Awareness and Information and Assistance

Outline

Overview of Activities Performed

Public awareness activities
Information and Assistance
Notes

Section 4f requirement: “the number of individuals assisted through the public awareness activities and statewide information and referral system”.

Public awareness activities are designed to reach large numbers of people, including activities such as public service announcements, radio talk’s shows and news reports, newspaper stories and columns, newsletters, brochures, and public forums. Actual numbers of information recipients are often difficult to know for certain, but should be reported when known, and in other cases estimated as accurately as possible. Public awareness activities should be reported, as accurately as possible, in Part A of this section.

Information and assistance includes provision of information and supports to individuals and provision of referrals to other entities. All of these activities may be provided in person, over the telephone, via email, or other effective communication mechanisms.

Distinguishing Information and Assistance from Device Demonstration Referral

In this section, report only on referrals resulting from information dissemination activities, such as calls to a 1-800 number or e-mails. Referrals resulting from device demonstrations should be reported under device demonstrations.

Distinguishing Public Awareness from Training

The intended outcome of an activity should determine whether it is reported under public awareness or training. Include presentations made for the purpose of general awareness under public awareness. Do not include training sessions with the intended outcome of participants applying new knowledge or skills in addressing AT device/service issues (which should be reported under training).

Overview of Activities Performed

Public awareness and information and assistance activities are required and must be reported.

Public Awareness Activities

In this section report on one or two high impact public awareness activities. This can include newsletters (paper or digital), listservs, blogs, social media, web based information, public service announcement via television, radio, online broadcasts, podcasts, internet streamed or live presentations, or many other mechanisms designed to disseminate awareness level information to a wide audience. Please remember that presentations reported in this section are for the purpose of general awareness. Training sessions with the intended outcome of participants applying new knowledge or skills in addressing AT device/service issues should be reported as a training activity. (NOTE: Purchasing promotional items is not allowable under OMB Circular direction and as such should not be reported in this section as a public awareness activity.)

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 quantitative numbers are available regarding the reach of the activity, please provide those; however, quantitative data is not required.

(Narrative item) Each narrative is limited to 3000 characters.

Information and Assistance

Information and assistance (I&A) activities are those in which the AT program responds to requests for information and/or puts individuals in contact with other agencies, organizations, or companies that can provide them with needed information on AT products, devices, services, or funding sources or provides intensive assistance to individuals about AT products, devices, services, or funding sources. This information may be provided in person, over the telephone, via email, or by some other communication mechanism.

In the table below report the number of individuals to whom you provided information and assistance services by type of individual or entity (see instructions for classification system explanation) and by the content of the information and assistance provided. To the extent practicable each unique request for information and assistance should be counted only once. For the content of the I&A provided, differentiate between --

Information and assistance about specific AT products, devices, or services, or selecting an AT product, device, or service; and
Information and assistance that addresses obtaining funding for or otherwise acquiring AT devices and services or providing AT policy/practice information.

Types of Recipients of Information and Assistance	AT Device/ Service	AT Funding/ Policy/Practice	Total

State Improvement Outcomes

Outline

Overview of Activities Performed

State improvement outcomes
State improvement outcome (if second one reported)

It is understood and expected that AT Programs will coordinate and collaborate with other public and private entities in terms of receiving referrals, sharing information, serving on advisory board, etc. and will provide technical assistance to a variety of agencies and entities throughout the reporting period. Outcomes of state improvements initiatives must result in policy, practice or procedure improvements beyond those associated with or already reported in previous state-level and state leadership coordination and collaboration sections.

Section 4f requirements: “the outcomes of any improvement initiatives carried out by the State as a result of activities funded under this section, including a description of any written policies, practices, and procedures that the State has developed and implemented regarding access to, provision of, and funding for, assistive technology devices, and assistive technology services, in the contexts of education, health care, employment, community living, and information technology and telecommunications, including e-government.”

Overview of Activities Performed

State improvement outcomes are not required. You may report up to two MAJOR state improvement outcomes for this reporting period. How many will you be reporting? (For example, you may have worked with your state Information Technology Office to implement an Executive Order related to web accessibility or may have worked with your Medicaid office to streamline procedures for obtaining wheeled mobility devices.) -- enter zero, 1 or 2

State Improvement Outcomes

Complete this section for the first MAJOR state improvement outcome to be reported.

In one or two sentences, describe the outcome. Be as specific as possible about exactly what changed during this reporting period as a result of the AT program’s initiative. (Narrative field)
In one or two sentences, describe the written policies, practices, and procedures that have been developed and implemented as a result of the AT program’s initiative. Include information about how to obtain the full documents, such as a Web site address or e-mail address of a contact person, but do not include the full documents here. (If there are no written policies, practices, and procedures, explain why.) (Narrative field)
What was the primary area of impact for this state improvement outcome? Drop-down box: Education – Employment -- Health, Allied Health, Rehabilitation -- Community Living -- Technology (Information Technology, Telecommunications, and Assistive Technology).

B State Improvement Outcome

If you have a second MAJOR outcome to report, this section will need to be completed with items 1 through 3 above.

Additional and Leveraged Funds

Outline

Overview of Activities Performed

Leveraged Funding for State Plan Activities (Previously Reported)
Leveraged Funding for Activities Not in State Plan (not previously reported)
Notes

Section 4f requirement: “(x) the source of leveraged funding or other contributed resources, including resources provided through subcontracts or other collaborative resource-sharing agreements, from and with public and private entities to carry out State activities described in subsection (e)(3)(B)(iii), the number of individuals served with the contributed resources for which information is not reported under clauses (i) through (ix) or clause (xi) or (xii), and other outcomes accomplished as a result of such activities carried out with the contributed resources”

Overview of Activities Performed

Did you have Additional and Leveraged Funding to report? (Check yes or leave unchecked).

In this section, provide information on funding that has been leveraged to support statewide AT Program activities. Report only actual dollars leveraged; do NOT report in-kind contributions. The additional and leveraged funding reported in this section is NOT necessarily considered program income under federal guidelines.

Leveraged Funding for State Plan Activities (Previously Reported)

Statewide AT Programs often establish partnerships and leverage funds to support state implementation of required AT Act activities as described in your State Plan. These funds should be reported by entering the sources and amounts of non-AT Act funds that you received during this reporting period to support your State Plan activities. Report each source and amount in the reporting period that it was received, even if not all of the funds were expended in that reporting period. Do not report AFP endowments or matching funds. Identify which state level or leadership activity the funds were allocated to support. If funds were received to support more than one activity, report an amount for each activity according to funding allocations. The number of individuals served by those funds or other outcomes should have already been reported in the appropriate previous sections.

Fund Source (select one)	Amount	Use of Funds (select one)
Ο Federal Ο Public/State Agency Ο State Appropriations Ο Private		Ο State Financing Ο Training Ο Reuse Ο Technical Assistance Ο Demonstration Ο Public Awareness, I&A Ο Device Loan
option to repeat row data

B. Leveraged Funding for Activities Not in State Plan (data not previously reported in other activity sections)

Statewide AT Programs may also leverage funds to support activities that are authorized by the AT Act but not included in a State Plan. For example, a state may administer external funding for an activity that could be reported as Other State Financing, but they choose not to include that data in the State Financing section. If an activity is approved as part of your state plan and has associated leveraged funding, it should NOT be reported here but should be reported in the previous section A. This section is limited to only non-State Plan approved activities with leveraged funding that do not have information on individuals served or other outcome data reported in previous sections.

Funds used to support these activities should be reported by entering the sources and amounts of non-AT Act funds that you received during this reporting period. Report each source and amount in the reporting period that it was received, even if not all of the funds were expended in that reporting period. Do not report AFP endowments or matching funds. Identify which activities those funds were allocated to support. Report the number of individuals served by each funding source identified; or describe other outcomes if the “individuals served” is not an appropriate outcome measure.

Fund Source	Amount	Use of Funds – select one	Individuals Served or Other Outcome
Ο Federal Ο Public/State Agency Ο State Appropriations Ο Private		Ο State Financing Ο Reuse Ο Demonstration Ο Device Loan Ο Training Ο Technical Assistance Ο Public Awareness, I&A	(enter the number individuals served or describe the outcome)
option to repeat row data

C. Notes

Describe any unique issues with your data in this section (e.g., the reason why you were unable to report the number of individuals served with additional or leveraged funds).
