A Successful iPad Lending Project for Spanish-Speaking Parents of Children with Disabilities in Fresno

The Arc of California is thrilled to announce the successful completion of the first digital literacy iPad class and lending project at Fresno State University! Congreso Familiar and The Arc of California partnered with Fresno State University to provide Spanish-speaking parents of children with disabilities with a four-week iPad class where they learned important digital skills that are becoming increasingly essential in today’s world to access services and supports. From basic literacy to more advanced topics, the parents gained a wealth of knowledge that they can now use in their daily lives as they continue to advocate for their children with a disability.

All parents who completed the certificate program were committed to learning and have left with a valuable set of skills that will serve them well in the future.

Fresno State University staff did a fantastic job of imparting their knowledge and experience to the parents and helped make the course both informative and engaging. The iPad lending project and classes were made possible by the California Department of Developmental Services.
