A charity organisation in the US has shown true innovative thinking and has launched a new scheme aimed at improving Internet accessibility for people with cerebral palsy.
The Assistive Technology Exchange Network of United Cerebral Palsy is currently collecting unwanted IT products from businesses, education institutes and individuals and revamping them to enable people with disabilities to access the Internet.
The Chicago Tribune notes that the initiative is proving immensely popular and is likely to be expanded into other states in the very near future.
Similar schemes are also projected to start up this side of the Atlantic and throughout Europe.
Reports add that the organisation is additionally taking an assorted range of other devices including laser printers, monitors, keyboards and CD-ROMs, and reworking them to be more IT friendly for people with disabilities.© DeHavilland Information Services plc
