Alliance for Technology Access

We continue to have a highly successful collaboration with ATA and seek a renewal grant of $190,672 to ATA to be considered at the April 2002 Board meeting. Based on our experience in the first two years of implementation of the Access Fund, we propose developing and testing a set of baseline expectations for disability access and cultural competence that will anchor the training, mini-grants, technical assistance, and evaluation efforts described below. These standards, to be drawn from the ATA-produced assessment manual and staff's work on cultural competence, will represent critical steps that organizations can take with a limited expenditure of resources.
