SOAR training in Colorado is now conducted through the online training program. The SOAR Online Course is FREE and self-paced. It includes comprehensive information about SSI/SSDI, SSA's disability determination process, and the SOAR Critical Components for completing and submitting high-quality SSI/SSDI applications. Trainees also have the unique opportunity to apply what is learned through the completion of a Practice Case Application Packet for a fictional applicant, which is submitted to the SAMHSA SOAR TA Center for review and individualized feedback. You can sign up for the adult and/or child courses at https://soarworks.samhsa.gov/.
In addition, Disability Benefits Services offers a SOAR refresher course, as well as, other advanced trainings to further develop an advocate's knowledge and skills. If interested, please contact Byron Kish at (303) 515-1653 or email bkish@eastersealscolorado.org.
