ATA: Assistive Technology Programs

FY 2008 Program Performance Plan

Strategic Goal 3
Formula
ATA, Section 4
CFDA 84.224A: State Grants for Assistive Technology

Program Goal: To increase access to and acquisition of assistive technology for individu
disabilities
Objective 1 of 2: To increase acquisition of assistive technology for individuals with disabilities.
Measure 1.1 of 3: The percentage of targeted individuals and entities who obtained assistive technology devices o
services for educational purposes through state financing activities or reutilization programs, who would not have o
the device or service. (Desired direction: increase)

Annual reports from states.

Frequency of Data Collection. Annual

Explanation. A data collection system into which states can provide their annual reports was not
approved by OMB during FY 2006. Therefore, FY 2006 data could not be collected and could not be used
to establish a baseline.

RSA anticipates receiving approval on the data collection system by the end of FY 2006. States will enter
data for October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007 into the system. This data will be used to establish
the baseline in FY 2007 rather than FY 2006.

Given that the data collection and baseline will be newly established in FY 2007, it is desirable to maintain
the baseline for 2008.

Measure 1.2 of 3: The percentage of targeted individuals and entities who obtained an assistive technology device
service for employment purposes through state financing activities or reutilization programs, who would not have ob
the device or service. (Desired direction: increase)
