School: Boston University SPH
Placement: MA Department of Developmental Services

Allie will be working with the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) on a gap analysis for their Assistive Technology program. This will involve research (with a focus on qualitative) to develop an analysis and recommendations at the state and inter-state level. She will be looking at program successes and gaps for DDS, determining if there are factors within other state models that could make Massachusetts’ implementation stronger. She will also use this research to develop an analysis and recommendations paper/presentation to DDS leadership.
