Parent information days
If your child has any problems using a computer because of learning, reading or writing difficulties or a disability, AbilityNet’s parent information days can help.
Come along to a Parent’s Information Day and have the opportunity to try out some adaptive computer solutions with your child that will enable them to access the computer at home for leisure and homework activities. One of our AbilityNet Consultants will be on hand to offer advice and answer specific questions, as well as suggest fun things to do on the computer at home.
AbilityNet are very pleased to have recently received a grant from the National Lottery Awards for All Programme. That has allowed us to extend the number of days that we are able to run. The grant is to run Information Clinics throughout the Eastern region.
