Minnesota STAR Program Collaborates with North Dakota Assistive for AT Webinars

Initiative Description

The Minnesota STAR Program collaborated this past year with North Dakota Assistive to host monthly one-hour webinars on various assistive technology topics. Additionally, we have been creating short videos about assistive technology devices. Together the two programs came up with topics for the webinars and we invited subject matter experts from both states to participate. The two states took turns serving as event hosts. Similarly, for the device videos, we used technology owned by both states. Because the STAR program is very small and does not currently have internal staff to create and edit these recordings, we contracted with North Dakota Assistive using the Public Health Workforce Grant to manage that piece of the project.
