Technology first: The impact on technology availability for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
1CQL | The Council on Quality and Leadership, Towson, Maryland, USA.
Summary
Technology First initiatives aim to boost tech access for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. However, analysis shows these initiatives have not yet significantly changed technology allocation in Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS).
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Disability Studies
- Public Policy
Background:
- Sixteen U.S. states have implemented "Technology First" initiatives.
- These policies aim to enhance technology access for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs).
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the impact of "Technology First" initiatives on technology allocation within Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS).
- To analyze how these initiatives influence the provision of technology for individuals with IDDs.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) programs across the United States.
- Data collected for the fiscal year 2021.
Main Results:
- States with "Technology First" policies showed a higher likelihood of offering telehealth services.
- No significant differences were observed in the number of recipients or projected spending on technology based on "Technology First" status.
Conclusions:
- "Technology First" initiatives show potential but have not yet substantially altered resource allocation in HCBS.
- Further evaluation is needed to understand the full impact on technology integration for individuals with IDDs.

01:25Learning Disabilities
219
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):
