The 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:

On Monday, August 3, the Colorado Center for the Blind and the Arapahoe County Sheriffs Office’s Mounted Unit collaborated for our first challenge recreation activity in nearly 5 months. The sight of groups of 4, 5, and 6 people leaving the Center on our way to Sterne Park looked eerily similar to Secretariat, Seabiscuit, and Justify leaving the starting gate at the Kentucky Derby. Our adult students in our Independence Training Program (ITP) loved the experience as did all of the staff. Shortly after the activity, our Executive Director Julie Deden and Lieutenant Rich Anselmi with the Office of Professional Standards at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office began discussing the possibility of hosting a similar event for our local youth. And so here we are. On Sunday, September 13 from noon to 2:00 PM our blind youth will be able to work with volunteers and deputies from the Mounted Unit to learn all about horses, give them a treat and groom them. We will have horses of all sizes and colors there, hopefully many of you will have the chance to work with the pony Rainbow.
Deadline to register for this event is Wednesday, September 9, space is limited. Please RSVP by emailing or faxing the Media/Social Media Release Form to mbecerra@cocenter.org or 303-778-1598.
For more information, please contact Director of Youth Services Martin Becerra-Miranda at mbecerra@cocenter.org or (303)778-1130 Ext: 223.
