UNIVERSITY OF GUAM

 Center for Excellence in

Developmental Disabilities

Education, Research, and Service


On April 21, Keynote Speaker Ray Barcinas shares his story with participants at the 29th Annual GSAT 
Conference.

The University of Guam Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities 
Education, Research, and Service (Guam CEDDERS) in collaboration with 
tri-agency partners Guam Legal Services Corporation-Disability Law Center 
(GLSC-DLC) and the Guam Developmental Disabilities Council (GDDC) hosted 
the 29th annual Guam System for Assistive Technology (GSAT) Conference, 
“Raising the Bar: Live, Work and Play with Assistive Technology,” on April 
21 at the Hilton Guam Resort Micronesian Ballroom. Over 160 individuals 
participated in the event.

Advisory Council Chairperson Lourdes Ann Mesa welcomed the audience 
and recognized agency participants. Ray Barcinas, a blind self-advocate, gave 
the keynote speech. Mr. Barcinas impressed the audience with his humor, 
expertise, and unwavering perseverance. He shared how people born 
with or have acquired a disability are trapped in a prison of circumstances, 
coupled with the struggles of everyday life. “Being blind, you have to work 
around people’s schedules. Raising the bar for the people in a prison of 
circumstances, sometimes mean raising the bar so high that you can walk 
under it, you can escape that prison of circumstances. Difficulties can be 
overcome and assistive technology can help you do that.” If Mr. Barcinas had 
a Braillenote with the screen reader software in elementary school, a plethora 

Continued on Page 2
of information would have opened up. Instead, he had a 
machine that when you typed, you had to take the paper that 
you typed on and send it to the special education office. The 
Braille translation would come back a week later and submitted 
to the teacher. The cycle would repeat for every assignment. 
Those translating his work could not keep up, but that was 
the only AT available to him at the time. Now when he writes 
something, teachers, parents, and students can see what he 
writes in seconds. “Raising the bar means being a better you 
than you were yesterday.”

Three informative sessions followed the keynote speech. The 
first session was facilitated by Michelle Bengco, Sustainability 
and Social Impact Manager at Bank of Guam. She spoke on the 
topic of financial literacy, cybersecurity, and banking features 
for individuals with disabilities. 

The second session featured presenters from the Guam/
Micronesia Geriatrics Workforce Enforcement Program. The 
team of professionals include Veronica Alave, Dr. Annama 
Varghese, Dr. Delores Lee, Nikolas Gutierrez, and Rhoda Orallo. 
The team presented an overview of dementia and advanced 
care planning and support for family caregivers. 100 packets on 
dementia were disseminated to the participants.

The last session was composed of presenters from the 
community, transportation, employment, and recreation. Ken 
Ka’ai spoke about the services offered by the Catholic Social 
Service Community Habilitation Program. Andria Macaraeg 
presented on the no tech, low tech, and medium tech options 
for engaging children in sports and recreation. Vocational 
Rehabilitation Counselor Alvin Ancheta discussed services 
offered at the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. Former 
Assistive Technology Specialist and Director of Department 
of Integrated Services for Individuals with Disabilities Ben 
Servino introduced the newly established, “Accessible Van 
Transportation Services.” 

University of Guam Social Work Interns Amarah Santos and 
Yeong Sook Park developed a video on, “Online Shopping to 
Promote Independence,” which was shown between sessions. 
The video highlighted Island Choice Grocery, a local online 
shopping option for individuals who are unable to physically go 
to the store. The video featured the store’s mobile application 
and website of available services which gives shoppers the 
ability to shop in the comfort of their home.

CEDDERS Participates in Practicum Fair


On April 26, representatives from Guam CEDDERS participate in the Social Work (SW) Practicum Fair at the University of Guam. Current SW interns presented a comprehensive 
overview of the services and supports offered by GSAT and the Guam EHDI Project. Pictured standing L-R: Amarah Santos and Jessica Cepeda, Social Work Interns; Leah

UOG SW Intern Reflects on Experience


During my practicum at Guam CEDDERS, I had the opportunity to work with 
two important programs, Guam EHDI and GSAT. The Guam Early Hearing 
Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program is responsible for identifying 
hearing loss in newborns and young children and making sure that they receive 
the necessary interventions and support services as early as possible.

The Guam System for Assistive Technology (GSAT) program is responsible for 
providing individuals with disabilities access to assistive technology devices and 
services that can help them improve their daily living skills, independence, and 
overall quality of life.

Through my involvement with GSAT, I gained valuable knowledge and skills 
related to assistive technology devices and services, including how to assess 
individual needs and recommend appropriate devices. I witnessed firsthand 
how access to assistive technology devices and services can make a significant 
impact on an individual’s life, increasing their independence, and enhancing 
their overall well-being.

Overall, my practicum experience with GSAT was incredibly enriching, both 
personally and professionally. It solidified my passion for working in the 
disability services field, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked 
with such dedicated professionals who are making a positive difference in the 
lives of individuals with disabilities in Guam.

Guam EHDI Check Me Out Fair

On March 25, Guam Early Hearing Detection and Intervention 
(Guam EHDI) and Guam Department of Education (GDOE) 
Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) Preschool, and Guam 
Early Intervention System (GEIS) partnered to bring the “Check 
Me Out Fair” back to the community. The fair aimed to share 
the importance of developmental screening, monitoring, and 
ensuring children are developing on track. The event was 
held at the Micronesia Mall from 11 am to 2 pm for families 
of children birth to five years old and were provided free 
developmental screening, hearing screening, and health checks 
from GDOE GEIS and ECSE Preschool, Department of Public 
health and Social Serivces (DPHSS), Project Bisita I Familia, and 
Guam EHDI. The DPHSS Preschool Development Grant Birth 
to 5 (PDG B-5) provided families with incentives after their 
child completed the developmental screen. Sixty-nine families 
participated in the event. Referrals were made to respective 
programs. Guam EHDI looks forward to future collaborations 
with partner agencies to spread awareness of the importance 
of developmental screening and early identification of children 
with special educational and healthcare needs.

Guam EHDI Shares Quarterly Highlights

On March 18, the Guam Early Hearing Detection and 
Intervention (EHDI) Project invited parents of children 
identified with hearing loss to the last of a three-part series 
of EHDI Conversations. The final session focused on the lived 
experiences of Tina Artero, a Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing (D/HH)
adult who shared her knowledge of navigating and accessing 
community services on the island. ICAN Resources employs 
Tina, who has worked at the Department of Defense Education 
Authority (DODEA) Guam High School since 2021. Tina also 
learned to navigate the Washington D.C. Metro at the age 
of 14 while living in the area. She earned her Guam Driver’s 
License at the age of 18 and uses the Guam Regional Transit 
Authority (GRTA) occasionally. Also present was Dr. Renee 
Koffend, Guam EHDI audiologist consultant, who provided 
parents and childcare providers with an overview of the 
importance of continuously monitoring a child’s hearing health 
from birth to 21 years to ensure children achieve optimal 
speech, language, and social emotional skills necessary to 
communicate and interact with family, friends, and members in 
the community. Michael Gallo, Program Coordinator with the 
Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) 
Medicaid Program, provided an overview of the available 
services, eligibility requirements, and application process.

On March 5 and 17, Guam Memorial Hospital Authority (GMHA) 
and DPHSS Project Bisita I Familia staff received Newborn 
Hearing Screening Training from Dr. Koffend. Ten GMHA staff 
and 11 DPHSS staff were trained on the hearing screening 
processes, troubleshooting hearing screening equipment, 
daily maintenance of hearing screening equipment, and best 
practices of infant hearing screening techniques.

The Guam EHDI Project continues to provide the much needed 
outpatient follow-up hearing rescreens for babies who referred 
(failed) the initial hearing screening test provided at GMHA 
before discharge. Guam EHDI screened 45 babies from March 
through May; of the babies screened, 36 passed and 9 referred. 
The staff provided the hearing screening results to assist the 
primary care physician (PCP) in determining the following steps 
upon the child receiving a refer result. The PCP plays a critical 
role in the timeliness of receiving DAEs. A referral from the 
PCP to the audiologist for a diagnostic audiological evaluation 
(DAE) will ensure the child gets a diagnosis by three months 
of age. In addition, the project connects parents to a family 
support group upon receiving consent from the parent. Guam 
EHDI and its partners are committed to achieving the Joint 
Committee of Infant Hearing (JCIH) 1-3-6 hearing screening 
guidelines: 

z Hearing screening by 1 month of age;
z Diagnostic Audiological Evaluation by 3 months of age; 
and
z Baby with hearing loss enrolled in early intervention 
services by 6 months of age.

website at guamehdi.org.

FSM Provides Support to Project LIFT Coaches

From April 5 -11, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) 
National Department of Education (NDOE) in partnership 
with Guam CEDDERS and Sigma Associates Incorporated 
provided on-site support to Project Literacy Intervention 
for FSM Leaders of Tomorrow (LIFT) Technical Assistance & 
Training coaches. The five-day event was held in Yap and 
was comprised of Project LIFT coaches from Pohnpei, Yap, 
Kosrae, and Chuuk. Part of the technical assistance involved 
observations of the Yap Project LIFT model school as well as 
focus group sessions with Project LIFT teachers in Yap and 
Project LIFT coaches. In addition, a three-day training on 
progress monitoring and the Early Literacy Monitoring (ELMo) 
software was also conducted with the coaches. The training 
was facilitated by Josephine Cruz, Ed.D., Guam CEDDERS; and 
Tri Tran and Arlene Russell, Sigma Associates Inc. The on-site 
training and technical assistance provided participants with 
increased knowledge and skills in progress monitoring and 
the use of ELMo. Furthermore, facilitators were able to collect 
valuable information from teachers and coaches related to 
the professional learning needs of personnel in Project LIFT 
schools.


On April 6, Project LIFT coaches from Yap worked together on a sorting exercise during the Progress Monitoring and ELMo training.

 GDOE Provides Math Professional Learning


On April 10, Dr. Alicia Aguon, Math Professor and Dean of the School of Education at University of Guam, facilitates the math professional learning session held at the Westin 
Resort Guam. 

On April 10, the Guam Department of Education, in 
collaboration with Guam CEDDERS, supported the State 
Systemic Improvement Project (SSIP) target schools in a K-3 
math professional learning session held at Westin Resort Guam. 
The session was facilitated by Dr. Alicia Aguon, Math Professor 
and School of Education Dean at the University of Guam. 

The SSIP math professional learning session was part of the 
continued support and technical assistance in the use of math 
manipulatives to deliver evidence-based practices in math 
instruction. Initially, math manipulatives were delivered to K-3 
and resource room teachers at the start of SY 2022-2023 and 
additional math materials such as dice, cards, and two-color 
counters were delivered to the schools after the session was 
completed.

The four SSIP target schools that participated were Chief Brodie 
Memorial Elementary School, J. M. Guerrero Elementary School, 
Capt. H. B. Price Elementary School, and M. U. Lujan Elementary 
School. All Kindergarten through third grade teachers and 
special education teachers, SSIP instructional coaches, and 
SPED coaches participated in the session. 

The session gave teachers continued support in the use of 
strategies for students struggling with mathematical concepts 
and operations in the elementary grade levels. Through their 
participation in this session, teachers were able to apply 
knowledge and skills in teaching number foundations, place 
value, and the concepts of addition and subtraction in an effort 
to improve students’ overall proficiency in mathematics.

DPHSS Facilitates SARS CoV-2 Virus Summit

Guam CEDDERS facilitated a three-day summit from 
April 5th – 6th and April 12th with Government of Guam 
entities and other stakeholders to gain feedback on 
measures adopted, or not, for persons with disabilities 
for the containment, mitigation, or suppression of 
the SARS CoV-2 virus. The summit was funded by the 
Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services 
(DPHSS) through an award granted by the Association 
of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO).

On Day 1, using the Areas of Emphasis defined in the 
Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights 
Act of 2000 (Figure 1 on page 12) as the framework to 
guide discussions on what worked, participants had the 
opportunity to share accomplishments in the continuance 
of services through the implementation of new, or 
modifications of existing, processes and procedures during 
the COVID-19 pandemic. On Day 2, participants discussed 
what did not work in areas that should have received more 
attention during the pandemic to better meet the needs of 
persons with disabilities, including older adults. Prioritizing 
the Areas of Emphasis, group consensus was reached 
identifying the areas of Education, Health, Employment, 
Housing, and Community Supports as the top five areas 
for improvement. Day 3 of the summit provided a recap 
of the discussions from the previous two sessions that 
cultivated collaborative engagement dedicated to future 
planning on creating an effective, inclusive, and crises-ready 
community. Four recommendations identified include the 
review of current operational processes and procedures, 
development of comprehensive crisis plans, establishment 
of consistent and formal interagency collaborative 
sessions, and development of rights-based policies. 

Guam CEDDERS was invited to share results on a national 
platform through ASTHO’s webinar series scheduled on July 
18th.

CEDDERS Participates in Post-Marwar Initiative

On May 24, Guam was hit by Typhoon Mawar, the strongest 
typhoon to devastate Guam in over 20 years. The Region 
IX Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) team 
responded immediately and mobilized resources to assist 
in post-typhoon recovery. One of FEMA’s post-typhoon 
recovery initiatives was to form a Priority Population Task 
Force and meet with local partners weekly to discuss ways to 
assist individuals with disabilities, senior citizens, and their 
families. These partners included FEMA, Guam Developmental 
Disabilities Council (GDDC), Guam Legal Services Corporation 
– Disability Law Center (GLSC-DLC), Department of Integrated 
Services for Individuals with Disabilities (DISID), Office of 
Homelessness and Poverty Prevention (OHAAP), Department 
of Public Health and Social Services - Division of Senior Citizens 
(DPHSS-DSC), Autism Community Together (ACT), Guam 
Parent Training & Information Program (PTI), Guam Behavioral 
Health and Wellness Center (GBHWC), Guam Regional Transit 
Authority (GRTA), and Catholic Social Services (CSS). The 
Priority Population Taskforce was initially coordinated with 
the Region IX FEMA Regional Disability Integration Specialist 
Roxann Crawford and was later led by Disability Integration 
Advisor Lead Matthew Star. With support from DPHSS-DSC, 
CEDDERS took part in the post-typhoon recovery initiative 
and extended the 311 Option 2 Call Center to help those who 
were seeking assistance due to damages caused by Typhoon 
Mawar. CEDDERS assisted individuals with online FEMA 
applications, provided information for services from various 
entities such as debris disposal sites and shelters, connected 
with village mayor’s offices and AmeriCorps for debris removal 
assistance, and fielded general inquiries about D-SNAP, Guam 
Power Authority, Guam Water Authority, Small Business 
Administration Recovery Centers, and services provided by the 
Guam System for Assistive Technology (GSAT). Additionally, 
GSAT provided assistive technology equipment to the Astumbo 
Shelter as well as clients who inquired about damages to their 
assistive technology devices/equipment. 


The Priority Population Task Force Team had their weekly meeting for updates with local partners on post-Mawar initiatives. Pictured first row (L-R): Matthew Star, FEMA
