In our ongoing commitment to engage and expand our outreach, we are thrilled to introduce the second series of our Technology training specifically designed for Spanish-speaking caregivers. We will offer monthly trainings in each office for a span of 7 months beginning in December 2025. 25 Laptops will be available at NBRC offices for these training sessions to facilitate easy access. Please refer to the flyer for more details.
Thanks to the DDS Language Access and Cultural Competency funds, we’ve been able to implement incredible programs and events aimed at increasing access to services and raising awareness of services available through the regional center. The goal of these funds is to support initiatives that will help address the disparities in POS expenditure data we are observing within our community and across the state.
To tackle the digital divide faced by our Spanish speaking community, we aspire for caregivers to build the confidence and skills necessary to navigate technology. This will not only enhance their communication with NBRC but also empower them to thrive in today’s technological landscape. Our training series will cover a wide array of topics, including basic computer skills, internet safety, and the use of essential free Google Workspace tools. Classes will be conducted in a supportive and interactive environment, allowing participants to learn at their own pace.
We understand the importance of language and cultural sensitivity in education, which is why all sessions will be delivered in Spanish by NBRC staff that have been a part of their journey. In understanding the unique needs of caregivers, this ensures that every participant feels comfortable and confident as they acquire new skills.
We believe that by empowering caregivers with technological proficiency, we are not only bridging the digital divide but also fostering a more inclusive and equitable community. We are excited to embark on this journey with our Spanish speaking caregivers and look forward to celebrating their achievements as they become more connected and informed members of the community.
