CyberZone

CyberZone is a Saturday morning and school holidays computer club for children and young people with disabilities from the ages of 7 to 16 / 18 years old.

The idea of the club is to provide young people with disabilities the opportunity to access high quality computer and teaching facilities that may not normally be available to them.

CyberZone is a small, informal and friendly club based on 7 to 8 "users" per session. Support for users is welcomed from parents, carers or friends.

Club users are supported by an experienced and highly qualified computer tutor and a support worker.

The emphasis of the club is on having "FUN", whether you are playing games or taking the opportunity to learn more practical skills. If you want to play "Games" for one and half hours you can, but if you want to learn about the Internet, graphic design or word processing that's fine.

There are 7 to 9  multimedia computers, all with Internet access and:
