May 8, 2020(1 event) 7:00 pm: Zoom FAST, FAST Zoom on Accessible Tech May 8 – Who? Observing “Social Distancing” guidelines doesn’t have to mean One positive thing that has come from the stay at home order has been the innovative ways that we are all finding to work, play, and keep in touch with each other. Join us this coming Friday, May 8, 2020 at 7 PM to learn about some of the technology we are all using. From mobile apps to connect with each other, to those we use for work/school, and even those we use for gaming. Have a favorite piece of technology, or a favorite app that you’d like to share with us? We’ll have time for that as well. For questions or to receive the link to the Zoom meeting, email Martin Becerra-Miranda at mbecerra@cocenter.org And get social with us on May 8!

May 23, 2020(1 event) 7:00 pm: Fun Activities & Skills Training (FAST) Game Night! – It has been a lot of fun getting to connect with those of you who have participated in our bi-weekly FAST Zoom meetings. This time around we are moving our meeting to Thursday night at 7 PM. During the first couple of sessions we have discussed many aspects of virtual/distance learning such as accessing materials, navigating google classroom, socializing with peers, finding accessible games, and of course working with various types of devices (and even troubleshooting some issues during the meeting). This upcoming Thursday we will be having a game night lead by our very own Access Technology instructor Brett Boyer. We are planning to play a bit of trivia, “Heads Up”, and another game or two. We will be using the same call in/log in information that we have used during our previous calls. If you have any questions or for the information, please reach out to Martin Becerra-Miranda via phone at (303)778-1130 extension 223 or via email at mbecerra@cocenter.org |

Virtual 7:00 pm: FAST on Pre-ETS: No, it’s not a “syndrome,” it’s Pre-Employment Transition Services! Join us Friday! –
Join the Colorado Center for the Blind this upcoming Friday, June 5, 2020 at 7:00 pm MDT for our bi-weekly FAST (Fun Activities and Skills Training) Zoom meeting. Our last meeting was a Game Night; we played a few rounds of “Trivia” and a couple of other rounds of “Heads Up”. Unsurprisingly, everyone who participated did a great job! We weren’t keeping score but the competitive juices were flowing for sure. This week, we will kick off our meeting with a bit of trivia relating to our topic, which is Pre-Employment Transition Services. Those of you who are currently working with rehabilitation services will likely know what “Pre-ETS” means. For those of you who are not completely sure, you will have to join us to find out what it means and how it applies to you. Now that it’s June 1 and most schools are out, we also want to highlight the “Virtual Summer Sessions” that the Colorado Center for the Blind will be offering starting June 16, 2020. CCB will have 4 different workshops that will cover the following topics: Self-Advocacy; STEM; College Readiness; and Employment. The Self-Advocacy and STEM workshops will consist of two 90-minute sessions each. And the College Readiness and Employment workshops will consist of four 90-minute sessions each. We will use the same call in/log in information for this call as we’ve used for previous FAST Zoom meetings. If you need the meeting information or have questions regarding our Virtual Summer Sessions, please contact Martin Becerra-Miranda at (303)778-1130 extension 223 or by email at mbecerra@cocenter.org.

June 18, 2020(1 event) 2:00 pm: “Self-Advocacy 101”, a 2-part virtual workshop for Youth Ages 13 to 21 – The goal of Self-Advocacy 101 is to share tools and techniques that will assist students to understand their strengths and weaknesses; identify and understand how blindness impacts them and what adjustments they must make in order to be on an equal footing with sighted peers; and to develop their individual methods for communicating these necessary adjustments in academic, social, home and vocational environments. We know that creativity is at the core of self-advocacy. More times than not advocating for ourselves begins by identifying a challenge we are facing. In an ideal world this is promptly followed by those in charge offering a solution to said challenge. However, as many of our students know all too well, this is not always the case, especially when it comes to the reasonable accommodations necessary for blind students to have access materials and stay on track with their peers. Items that will be addressed during this 2-part workshop include but are not limited to:

Virtual 2:00 pm: “College Readiness: Whether Virtual or in-Person”, a 4-part virtual workshop for Youth Ages 13 to 21 – College Readiness: Whether Virtual or in-PersonThe Colorado Center for the Blind presents “College Readiness: Whether Virtual or in-Person”, a 4-part virtual workshop to be held on the dates of June 30, July 2, 7 & 9 from 2:00 – 3:30 pm MDT. Going to college is a big step for every young person. For most, it means living on your own for the first time in a dorm, picking a major in a subject you feel passionate about and maybe staying up as late as you want. This fall, it may mean more online courses or only online courses in this era of social distancing. For blind students moving from high school to college, it means no more IEP or 504 meetings, no more technology provided by the school and a number of other things. But it also means exciting opportunities, new friends and new adventures to go along with new responsibilities to know your civil rights as a blind student, how to advocate for them effectively and what to do when you do everything right and still things go wrong. Items that will be addressed during this 4-part workshop include but are not limited to:
