Evaluation of Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA)

Overview

The Partnership for People with Disabilities is under contract with the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA), a federally-funded program under the National Assistive Technology Training and Technical Assistance Program, to evaluate its performance. The evaluation involves the Partnership surveying state-level programs for their feedback on RESNA services, including teleconferences, national conferences, webconferences, technical assistance, and resources. The surveys are directed at the AT Act Entities--the 57 Protection and Advocacy for Assistive Technology Programs (PAATs), the 56 Statewide Assistive Technology (AT) Act Programs, and the 33 Alternative Financing Programs (AFPs).

Major Activities

The most major activity involves three online surveys, supplemented by qualitative telephone interviews, to measure the performance and effectiveness of RESNA. The surveys target the three AT Act Entities and are designed to assess satisfaction, unmet need, and impact.
