AutreachIT exists for the purpose of employing digitally skilled autistic people to bring ICT to digitally excluded autistic people. To be included, empowered, and able to take a real part in decisions about their own lives, autistic people need effective ways to communicate. Legislation supports the right of access to Information and Communication Technology (ICT)1. We want to make that access a reality. AutreachIT aims to
  • promote access to ICT
  • raise awareness of rights to ICT,
  • demonstrate the effectiveness of ICT,
  • employ digitally skilled autistic people to develop ICT for hitherto digitally excluded autistic people
AutreachIT is a not for profit group founded in 2008 for the purpose of using autistic skills and knowledge to end the digital exclusion of autistic and other adults receiving funded care. We plan to provide a bank of specialists in varied aspects of ICT and digital inclusion. We have an autistic core team, but do not exclude any willing participant.
