Specific aims of the "IT Can-Help" Network are to

• assist Professional providers of help, such as Communication Aid Centres (CAC's), Speech & Language Therapists, together with AbilityNet to establish this extra net to catch people with severe disabilities to give help at a more local level

• provide Volunteers who are computer literate, to visit disabled people in their own homes or Day Centres, to assist them in over coming problems with their computer hardware or software.

• finance this provision of Volunteers, by company Sponsorship from many companies in the IT Industry or using IT in a big way. These funds will cover Volunteer Insurance plus transport costs national and local publicity etc. for running such a disability assistance scheme. Thereby making this service totally free to all the disabled community.
