FY22 Annual Report: SERVICES

Adding New Projects

• Project SCOPE VT helps healthcare providers and educators learn about opioid challenges impacting children and families. SCOPE recently ran a Vermont learning series to share best practices.
• The CDCI CARES Team began providing training and consultation services to schools to help students aged 3-22 who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or DeafBlind.
• Confident Care for Kids is a new collaborative project to make vaccines easier for children with disabilities.
• We opened a new Assistive Technology Tryout Center in Burlington.

Collecting New Data & Building Better Trainings

More of our projects began collecting feedback on the accessibility of our trainings. Most attendees reported that the trainings were accessible, and helped them learn more about diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We’re also learning more about the people we train.

• Before Trainings: Some projects are asking more questions of attendees during the registration process.
• During Trainings: Presenters and attendees share gender pronouns, visual descriptions, and other identity information during trainings.
• After Trainings: All projects ask attendees to complete a survey after each training.

This year 350 attendees shared information about gender, race, ethnicity, and relationship to disability. There is less racial and gender diversity in our attendees as compared to everyone in Vermont.

Welcoming a New Coordinator

In FY 2022, we also welcomed a new Services Coordinator: Adrienne Miao, who also serves on the Vermont I-Team, and with the Vermont Continence Project. We are very glad to have her lead our service projects.
