Here’s help for families who can’t afford the internet
by Rachel
You may remember the post I wrote about one of our fabulous corporate sponsors, The Comcast Foundation and the grants it provides to support assistive technology programs.
Both Easter Seals and Comcast want kids to have the tools they need to start school ready to learn, and now Comcast’s dedication to accessibility has been taken to a new level. Comcast’s new Internet Essentials program offers high-speed Internet service, a low-cost computer and access to free Internet trainings to low-income families in Comcast markets.
It’s an affordable solution that supports Easter Seals families and other families across the country — a huge help, especially now that it’s time for back-to-school preparation. This Internet Essentials program just goes to show how Comcast is working to expand digital literacy by bringing technology into every home.
Thank you, Comcast. Your Internet Essentials program empowers people with special needs and their families and helping them to achieve the best quality of life possible.
