Tips and Resources

Equip is designed to help individuals build confidence and independence in their daily lives. Here are two ideas to ensure your users are maximizing Equip:

• Leverage Visual Schedules: Use Equip’s customizable calendar to help users stay on track with their routines, appointments, and schedule. Reminders can also be utilized to send push notifications, which can be especially helpful for those who thrive on clear, structured plans.

• Enhance Communication: Equip’s mobile app empowers users to stay connected and informed through its integrated communication features as an independence companion. Users can receive updates, reminders, and important details about schedules, events, and tasks directly through the platform at their finger tips. This ensures they are always in the loop, reducing confusion and fostering greater independence in managing their responsibilities.

Support System Strategies

As we step into the new year, there’s no better time to harness the power of tracking progress effectively. Equip’s customizable assessment feature empowers you to save time and drive informed decisions with real-time performance data from multiple stakeholders, including self-assessments. By streamlining input and providing objective, actionable insights, this tool ensures efficient, transparent tracking that fosters collaboration and growth at every level. Let’s make this year one of measurable impact and unparalleled efficiency! Here are some things to focus on when making data-driven decisions through Equip's Assessments:

1. Build Assessments for Targeted Insights Design assessments that align with your organizations’s goals, focusing on the most relevant skills, progress markers, and performance metrics. Incorporate self-assessments and multi-stakeholder feedback to get a complete picture.

2. Leverage Real-Time Data for Smarter Decisions Equip’s dynamic dashboards allow you to track progress instantly, compare trends over time, and filter responses to uncover meaningful insights—helping you refine support strategies efficiently.

3. Turn Insights Into Actionable Change Use assessment results to adjust training, refine interventions, and set measurable goals. Share findings transparently to foster collaboration and accountability across teams. Utilize the AI Summarize feature to turn data into actionable information.

Spotlighting stories that build stronger communities through collaboration and support.

This month, we’re highlighting United Ability, a Birmingham-based nonprofit dedicated to providing support and services to empower individuals with disabilities and their families. United Ability provides a wide range of services, including early intervention programs, employment services, educational support, and more, all aimed at fostering independence and inclusion.

"United Ability is honored to work with Equip to help us better and more efficiently serve our clients and students while continuing to meet accreditation and state standards for documentation. The customer service we have received is unmatched. Trent has listened to us and created a system that makes sense for providers and saves staff hundreds of hours a month in documentation so they can focus on service provision. To have a technology company that cares as much about the individuals who are being served as it does about the provider who is serving them is invaluable, and that is exactly what we have in Equip. We will continue to recommend this technology to our colleagues and state leaders.”
