Accessing the Arc2Independence App

The content of the series will be based on lessons from the Arc2Independence app, which was developed by the Tech for Independent Living team to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to fully participate in their communities. To learn about this innovative app, watch this 2-minute video.

Participants will have the option to download the app so that they can access the class content at home. While it is helpful to download the app, it is not required.

If you want access to the Arc2Independence app:

• Provide an email and phone number when registering for the series. Main Street will share this information with the instructor at The Arc of Northern Virginia.
• Bring a phone or tablet to the class.
• During the first class, the instructor will guide participants through the steps of downloading the app. If you expect to need help with downloading the app, please bring a support person with you to the class.
