Free tech training for people with disabilities

From The Arc

"People with disabilities are three times more likely to not go online compared to people without disabilities. That gap has real consequences—for connection, employment, independence, and more. 

To help close that gap, AT&T, The Arc, and The Arc San Francisco have partnered to offer free digital skills training designed specifically for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  

The training uses plain language and practical instruction to support different learning styles and access needs. 

Explore the resources yourself or share them with someone you know to build confidence using technology. Learn skills such as:

  • Getting started with computers, mobile devices, and video conferencing 
  • Navigating websites and search engines
  • Protecting against online fraud and scams
  • Creating healthy relationships online
  • How to find credible news and be a responsible creator 

Resources are available online anytime, with in-person workshops offered in 14 cities for people who learn better with some face-to-face support."
