Oklahoma ABLE Tech Making Life Accessible to Oklahomans of All Ages and Abilities

Oklahoma ABLE Tech promotes the availability of assistive technology (AT) devices and services for people with disabilities. AT is any item or piece of equipment used to maintain or improve the capabilities of people with disabilities. Assistive technology allows people with disabilities to function independently in recreation, education, employment and daily living activities.

Wanda was referred to Oklahoma ABLE Tech’s Device Reutilization Program when she needed durable medical equipment (DME). Wanda received a four–wheeled walker and an upright four-wheeled walker from the program.

Wanda is now able to move around better. “[The devices] help me walk and get up and graduate from one thing to another,” Wanda said. “I praise them for their kindness and giving heart.”

Oklahoma ABLE Tech staff retrieves donated equipment; sanitizes and refurbishes devices; works with vendors to repair the equipment if needed; and reassigns durable medical equipment (DME) or devices to eligible Oklahomans, regardless of income. To learn more about how to donate DME or how to apply for equipment, visit our website at https://www.okabletech.org/core-programs/device-reutilization

Take a moment for yourself on International Stress Awareness Day!

Respite care gives primary caregivers a break so they can rest, travel, or spend time with family and friends. Using assistive technology (AT) can make caring for someone easier. That helps caregivers manage their time and stress better, allowing them to keep going and reach their goals.

Our AT Respite Kits are designed to support both caregivers and the people they care for. Here are a few items that can help you unwind and recharge:

Sleep Lamp - A gentle light can make all the difference when you’re trying to wind down. The sleep lamp promotes calm, helping you create a peaceful environment for rest after a long day.

Bed Buddy Comfort Wrap - Warm or cool, the comfort wrap soothes sore muscles and eases tension. It’s a simple way to give your body the care it deserves after hours of caregiving.

Amazon Echo Show - Sometimes, taking care of yourself means making things easier. With the Echo Show, you can set reminders, play relaxing music, or connect with loved ones hands-free, giving you more space to focus on what matters most.

Aura LED Projector - Transform your space into a soothing environment with calming visuals. The Aura LED Projector displays gentle moving scenes with adjustable brightness, timer settings, and app connectivity. It's perfect for winding down or creating a quiet moment of peace.

Oklahoma ABLE Tech staff collaborates with organizations across Oklahoma that share a similar mission to enhance the lives of all Oklahomans through assistive technology devices and services. Oklahoma ABLE Tech has three vehicle modification partners: MobilityWorks of Tulsa, Newby-Vance of Guthrie, and United Access of Oklahoma City. After compiling year-to-date data, all three dealerships reported that July was one of their busiest months. Together, these partners recorded more than 85 vehicle modification demonstrations in just one month!

Have you heard about our Empowering Educators Through AT workshop series for teachers, service providers, and administrators?

Attendees will be eligible to win an AT kit for their school district. One of the kit devices is the Scanmarker Pro, a portable reading pen. The Scanmarker Pro is a type of AT from the Learning, Cognition, and Development category that can scan and read text out loud. It is a simple way to provide students who need AT access to print materials.

October is Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Awareness Month, and we're so excited to share this AAC success story! Bishop was referred to Oklahoma ABLE Tech by SoonerStart and Little Light House to try assistive technology (AT) devices to help him communicate. Bishop’s family reached out to the Device Loan Program at Oklahoma ABLE Tech for help finding AT to meet his needs.

“My son was so frustrated trying to communicate his needs to us,” said Bishop’s mom.

Bishop tried an AAC device equipped with the LAMP Words for Life (WFL) app. AAC allows users who have difficulty using their natural speech to communicate. LAMP WFL is a robust language system that gives users access to many communication options!

After trialing the app, Bishop was able to communicate his needs with his family.

“Bishop thinks it’s hilarious that he can now tell us ‘no’ to things he does not want us to do,” Bishop’s mom said. “I never thought I would be so happy for my toddler to tell me no!”

Oklahoma ABLE Tech offers nearly 5,000 different AT devices in a variety of categories. The Device Loan Program offers short-term loans for individuals to trial AT devices for up to six weeks at no cost. Device loans are available to Oklahoma residents with disabilities, their family members, and the professionals who support them. Visit the Device Loan Program webpage at https://www.okabletech.org/borrow to learn more about how to borrow AT.

Katie worked with the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services Vocational Rehab (DRS-VR) Unit after experiencing a stroke, which left her with significant balance and mobility challenges. To maintain her independence, she began using a mobility scooter but faced difficulty loading it into her vehicle.

Katie was unable to take her mobility scooter to classes and out into the community for work-related activities. DRS-VR helped Katie acquire a lift for her vehicle to transport her mobility scooter.

With the help of the scooter lift, Katie found the right solution to regain her mobility and resume attending classes in person and at work. She shared that she’s now able to fully participate in her daily activities.

Oklahoma ABLE Tech promotes the awareness of, access to, and acquisition of assistive technology (AT) devices and services for Oklahomans with disabilities. ABLE Tech collaborates with organizations across the state that support and promote this mission. DRS-VR is one of those valued organizations.
