Please include specific quantitative and qualitative data in your response. What methods/tools will your organization use to evaluate the proposed program’s effectiveness? Please include specific examples, such as a logic model. Please briefly describe how your proposed programs aligns with evidence-based approaches to addressing human service need(s). The Project For Accessible Resources (PAR) will enhance the lives of Chapel Hill and Carrboro residents by providing technology training and inter-agency collaborative meetings. Approximately 54 individuals will be divided into 8 week technology training modules with three sessions per week. They will learn to use smart phones, tablets or computers with accessible software. There will be monthly inter-agency meetings with consumers and service providers to exchange knowledge about best practices to interact with people with disabilities and available community resources. By providing technology training and community resources, OCDAC consumers will be empowered with the skills to be self-advocates, acquire employment, and increase their levels of independence and self-confidence. In order to assess the progress of each student in our technology training, we will be utilizing the TrainingWare cloud-based curriculum which provides pre- and post- assessments throughout the curriculum. Participants must score 80% or higher in order to proceed to the next lesson. While participating in the monthly Inter-Agency meetings, each participant will engage in conversations with fellow consumers and community agency participants. All consumer attendees will be given information, (in an accessible format), of the available community resources. At the end of each meeting, there will be questions addressed to the consumers to assess the knowledge that was obtained during the meetings. Surveys will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the meetings. The PAR program is designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities by providing them with the necessary skills and resources to enhance their lives. OCDAC is aware of the needs of the people that they serve because the majority of the staff is comprised of people with disabilities and they demonstrate their abilities by example. They know the best practices to use when providing training and the available resources to meet their diverse needs.
