Most participants complete the online course in approximately 1.5 - 2.0 hours.

Once a licensed program receives its Adapt to Impact Loan Library login, one of the items from the Universal Design collection can be requested. Adapt to Impact works in partnership with the Colorado Library Consortium to deliver requested items to a local public library using the interlibrary loan courier system. Each item can be checked out of the library for up to 6 weeks. If you do not have access to request an item in the loan library, continue to the next step to upgrade your account to full access.

Complete at least one of the courses in the “Adapting for Disability” series that is to upgrade your loan library access. Many of the items available through full access include an instructional video with information on how to use the item as an inclusive tool in your program.

The 5 courses in the series are:

· Adapting for Disability: Communication & Early Literacy

· Adapting for Disability: Behavior & Cognition

· Adapting for Disability: Gross Motor

· Adapting for Disability: Fine Motor

· Adapting for Disability: Hearing & Vision

You can expect each training to take approximately 1.0 hour to complete. A certificate of completion will be issued for each of the courses completed in the series.
