The Cerebral Palsy Society’s “Get Connected” Programme

June 4th, 2008 · No Comments

Get Connected programme in actionWant to get on the internet? Email? Well, you’re already here, but maybe you know someone with a disability who wants to learn more about these new technologies but is a bit nervous, or can’t afford the set up costs? Then have a listen to this!

The Get Connected programme is a fantastic initiative set up by the Cerebral Palsy Society in Auckland, and it aims to empower people with cerebral palsy to use the internet to communicate, discover, and be entertained! They will fund the initial set up costs (including hardware, installation, and training), as long as you can meet your ISP’s ongoing internet plan charges.

Note: you must be a member of the Cerebral Palsy to apply for the programme (membership is only $10!), and unfortunately it is only currently available to those living in Auckland.

But if you meet those criteria and it sounds like something you’d be interested in, click here to find out more or here to download an application form!
