Description: Aidis Trust helps people with physical and learning disabilities to use computers and technology. If a child cannot move a computer mouse or type on a keyboard, we find software or hardware that enables them to use a computer for homework, for communication, or to play videogames.
Our “Everyone Can Game” service adapts computers to help disabled people to get together to play videogames and have fun. We visit disabled people who struggle to socially integrate, helping them to become an active part of a group and form friendships through gaming. We find fun games that suit people with varying levels of learning and physical disability.

Services delivered: Aidis Trust was formed in 1975 to help a young man with a muscle wasting condition to continue his school work after he lost the strength to grip a pen. We achieved this through giving him a typewriter.
Since then, technology and the ways it can help disabled people of all ages have changed. Correctly used, digital technology can allow disabled people to access services as well as participate in society on more equal terms. In this way, technology can dramatically enhance their lives. We have developed the Services of Aidis to take advantage of modern computer technology and so help severely disabled people to achieve their potential. The Services we offer:
1. Technology assessments give disabled people an understanding of the adapted technology that will help them within education, at home or volunteering, and potentially the workplace.
2. Training service for individuals and groups helps them in the use of adapted technology to overcome their specific problems.
3. Remote Technology Support Service provides solutions for all disabled people and specialises in giving remote technical support to fix both computer problems and use of software.
4. Everyone Can Game service helps groups of disabled people to get together and play videogames adapted to their needs, giving them a fun activity that is accessible to all.
