D. Anecdote

Mr. Vanderpool was recently discharged from Cardinal Hill following surgery.  He was referred to our center by the occupational therapy staff.  We were able to give Mr. Vanderpool a quad cane, a walker, a rollator, and a pair of compression stockings, all from our CARAT project.

Mr. Vanderpool expressed how appreciative he was for our help as he is on a fixed income and would not have been able to purchase these items.  He even called back to thank us again and tell us how much the rollator and walker have helped him to safely get up and about.

E. Anecdote

LH was referred to us by an occupational therapist.  She has macular degeneration and histoplasmosis.  She is completely blind in one eye and has less than 20/80 in the other.  She was interested in devices to help her with reading, writing, and using the computer. LH set up an appointment to come in and check out our visual impairment assistive technology.  After spending some time getting to know Laura’s needs and abilities, we looked over some of our AT.  LH checked out several items from our lending library: Reading Pen, 2x Page Magnifier, Handsfree Magnifier, Pico Pocket Video Magnifier, and the Merlin LCD Video Magnifier System.  She is hoping to be able to purchase similar items once she determines what works best for her.

D. Anecdote

A physical therapist was trying to determine which seating equipment would work best for a young child and wanted to see what options were available. The ATRC Coordinator and ATRC librarian demonstrated a variety of seating equipment for the physical therapist, young child and the family so they could try the options and compare them. This demonstration overcame the barrier of positioning for this child who was unable to sit up by himself. The ATRC collaborated with the child’s physical therapist in demonstrating a variety of seating options. The demonstration helped the family and their physical therapist make a decision on which seating equipment would be most appropriate for this child and led to a loan.  The seating equipment helped position the child so he could sit up. The seating equipment improved this child’s access to education and gave him a way to sit up so he can play and more fully engage with toys and his family.
