How to Use the Website?

Everything You Need to Know to Engage, Learn and Connect

You can use The Beat to access online classes, activities, videos and other independent learning materials safely and remotely. While remote learning and resources cannot replace in-person instruction, it can serve as a means for extending curriculum and bridging the distance between us.

We are committed to digital accessibility and inclusion. We work to make The Beat accessible to anyone, anywhere on any device. Should you experience any issues while visiting our website, please contact thebeat@ahrc.org so we can make the necessary updates to bring the best user experience possible for all users.

How Can I Register for a Class?

What is Remote Learning?

Remote learning, also called distance education or online learning, is offered when the learner and the instructor are not in the same physical location.

What is a Resource Center?

A resource center is a centralized hub (online library) where we can share content created by our family of organizations and community partners. AHRC Nassau’s Remote Learning and Resource Center was partially funded through the Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (DDPC).
