Project Description:

The investment in the public health workforce is being used to support two priority initiatives. The first was the inclusion of a funding and policy specialist on the State AT Program team. This individual is responsible for developing assistive technology guidance for the early intervention and Pre-K12 systems, and providing training for educators, administrators, families and students. He will also take the lead in revitalizing a statewide equipment refurbishment program. A portion of the funds are also dedicated to providing tech support for a program enabling remote delivery of health self-management content to people with disabilities unable/unwilling to participate in in-person training.
