Family Life & Disability Training for Native American Communities Dr.AnnMaria De Mars & Dr. Erich Longie Spirit Lake Consulting, Inc. Funding provided through a Research Utilization Award, National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research

Who We Serve Every time I write a new training course, I try to keep a picture in my mind of someone for whom this could make life better.

Family Life Series  Designed for Native Americans with disabilities and their families  Needs and constraints of reservation communities were integral to the design  Follows a computer-integrated format

Reservation-based Limited chance to meet other families in similar situations When he was nine months old he was like a newborn child yet. And he started having what I didn’t know at the time was a seizure. Before that I never even knew that there were people that were born with disabilities like this

Reservation-based  The nearest university library with extensive information on disabilities is about a three- to four- hour round trip. That is when there is no ice or snow on the roads and no flooding. When there is, forget it.

Reservation-based  Transportation is provided as the reservations don’t have public transit  Lunch and coffee breaks are provided  Child care is provided  Each parent receives a $50 stipend for attendance since very few can afford to take two days off work without pay

Computer-integrated That mom on the reservation attending class in the winter, is smarter than people give her credit for. Contrary to what a lot of people think, she does know how to use a computer.

Computer-integrated  Spirit Lake Consulting, Inc. has collected the largest sample ever of computer usage of Native Americans with disabilities and their families who live on Indian reservations  About half own a home computer  Over one-third access the Internet and every day

Family Life Series If you, or someone in your family, has a disability, this website will help you from beginning to end. It was made for you by members of the Spirit Lake Tribe, Three Affiliated Tribes and Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa. However, most of what we discuss - children with behavior problems, the fears as your adolescent wants to be less protected and more independent - are experiences and concerns of every family, urban or rural, Indian or not.

Family Life Series Five training workshops 1.Disability Access: An introduction to disability and disability services 2.Family Life & Disability 3.Young Children & Disability 4.Disability in the School Years 5.Adulthood, Disability & Aging.

Computer-Integrated Instruction: A new way to train people with disabilities, staff and family members

What we do  Create ‘slices of the Internet’  Customized on-site training for: People with varying levels of experience with computers People who need information on specific types of disabilities or age groups

Making Slices of the Internet Have you ever read something like this - “The project engages in simultaneous top-down and bottom-up activities to educate stakeholders and demonstrate accessible E&IT “ We select content that is useful and meaningful for your needs.

Four Training Components  Course Modules  Virtual Library  Commons Area  On-site workshops

Advantages of Computer-Integrated Training (A very abbreviated list)  Customizable for community needs from our archives of several hundred web pages  Designed to meet needs of remote communities with virtual library and bulletin boards with posts from tribal members on web site and CD  Includes both on-site training and ed follow-up

Family Life & Disability Funded by a National Institute of Disability & Rehabilitation Research U.S. Department Education Grant to Spirit Lake Consulting, Inc.

Purpose of Training  To help people with disabilities find the services they need  To give people with disabilities, and their families, information they can use  To help tribal members with disabilities and their families use the Internet and the Disability Access CD to find the information they need

You can use the CD or website to create your own custom-designed course IMPORTANT POINT !!!

Training Design  Does not require the user OWN a personal computer  Training will take place on the reservation, in a computer lab similar to where most public use will occur  The actual website and CD-ROM will be used in the training.

Training Design  Does not require Internet access (but that would be nice)  Does not require a CD-ROM drive  Does require EITHER Internet access OR a CD-ROM drive

How to Use the CD 1.Insert the CD 2.Double-click on “index.html” to open the home page. 3.Click on Family Life (on the left side of the page) and from the pull-down menu select the workshop FAMILY LIFE & DISABILITY (Your CD does include all five workshops, and much more, but we will do this one for now.)

Notes on Design  The site is divided into modules. You can select the modules useful to your age, disability or interests.  The website is redundant. That is, a person can link to the mental retardation section from the introduction or the page on specific disabilities.

If you don’t have a CD Open the web browser (Firefox,Netscape, Explorer or whatever you use). Type in the following web address:   (Pay attention to what is in capital letters. It needs to look exactly like what is written.)
