The Faces of ATR Fisher, a young man who attends school at the Shady Grove State School in Poplar Bluff, Missouri is discovering the world of communication through his new NovaChat AAC device that was made possible through the ATR Grant Program.
Fisher was introduced to the device during an on-site consultation, and then was provided with a device through Missouri Assistive Technology’s ETC Loan Program.
After the trial period was completed, Fisher received his own dedicated communication device through MoAT’s ATR Program.
The Faces of ATR Natalie, a student in the Orchard FarmsSchool District, was struggling to keep upwith her peers and participate in class.
During an onsite consultation by MoAT, it wasdetermined that Natalie’s desire to be independent in the classroom and at lunchcaused her difficulties in completing tasks inthe time allotted.
The time it took Natalie to independentlyfeed herself, plus the time required for a clothes change after lunch, would often takeher away from her classwork. With the use of the OBI Robotic Feeding System, Natalie isindependent at lunch, is able to socialize withher peers, and is able to return to class ontime.
