The Aidis Trust specialises in assistive
computer technology for the disabled. Our aim is to help people,
regardless of their disability, to gain the most from today's
computer technology.
We are an independent charity with over 35
years of experience working with assistive computer technology. The
Aidis Trust charity provides free advice and
technical support to disabled people and people who support them
across the UK. Our mission is to improve independence for disabled
people through using assistive computer technology.
Assistive technology can be, for example,
larger keyboards, head pointers or specialist software such as
magnification and screen-reading software for the visually
impaired. We work with local, regional and national organisations
to ensure that the best possible support is provided to you
through our services.All our services are designed to help
you understand what assistive technology is available, how it can
work and how it can benefit you or those you care for.
Free services include:
- Helpline: Our
helpline supports disabled people with technical issues. Our
technical advisors offer assessments, giving impartial advice on
assistive technology to suit an individual's needs. In addition,
our helpline staff offers support on all aspects of computing,
using the latest technical support technology.
- Free training and awareness
courses to disability groups and organisations, carer's
and parents to demonstrate how hardware adaptations and specialist
software can enable a disabled person to effectively use a
computer.
- Website: Alternative
help and support can be offered through our LIVE chat, Facebook and
Twitter. Just visit our website for more information.
If you or someone you know has a disability or
health condition that makes technology difficult or impossible to
use, or you would like to find out more, please contact us.
