Home Access Grant - Free computer's with assitive technologies
The Home Access programme is designed to provide practical and financial support to low-income families with school-age children who may not be able to afford a computer or the internet. We have just launched Phase 2 of this Programme, which is aimed at those who have learning or physical disabilities and includes some fantastic assistive technology:
Home Access packages with Assistive Technology are limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
It is anticipated that up to 12,000 children in total with more comprehensive needs, such as those with significant visual impairments, physical disabilities or learning difficulties, could eventually benefit from Home Access, through receiving specially tailored packages suited to their individual needs.
These bespoke packages for children with severe disabilities or special educational needs will only be available until the end of the year.
