Navigating public transportation is essential to inclusion and participation in the community. Arc2Independence provides information on traveling throughout the DMV and beyond, as well as step-by-step instructions for routes that matter to you and where you need to go.
Tech for Independent Living
Support in the palm of your hand
With Apple’s release of the iPad tablet in 2010, disability providers began to notice the affinity that individuals with developmental disabilities had for this new technology. They were quite adept at the navigation and use of these devices and were able to understand, learn, and communicate in new ways.
Parents, teachers and other professionals working with these individuals began to see how much their child, student or client was able to comprehend about the world around them, now that they could express what they knew more effectively with this new technology. Capitalizing on the capabilities of smart devices is a significant opportunity for supporting and building independence, and overcoming functional challenges, at all levels for individuals in their schools, jobs and communities.
We create free, fully-customized, virtual lessons that support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and promote full inclusion and participation in the community.
