Our diverse, credible, and reliable team of intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD) experts through The Arc of Aurora and our training and education program, THINK+change, are excited to introduce THINK+change Academy. Your online learning platform where you can take online courses on your own time to further your education for all things I/DD. Every online training offers course-specific content packed with video slide-based lectures, downloadable TOOLS to reinforce training content, closed captioning, and MORE! We piloted the platform while training victim service providers throughout Colorado as well as offering our Schooling at Home and Every Voter Counts courses; we’ve had nearly 200 people enroll! Consider the resounding feedback from those that took courses so far:
