Gaming Social Success!

In October, we hosted our very first gaming social.

So many of our clients enjoy gaming and we saw this as an opportunity for them to come together, get to know each other, and play some games.

Our clients enjoy lots of different games and use a variety of different gaming platforms, with this in mind, we decided to connect everyone over Zoom whilst they played their games. This way, they were able to share what they were playing and watch others play too.

Al Haigh, our AT ambassador had pre-planned some questions, which we shared in advance with our clients and their SALTs, so conversation flowed and everyone had a turn speaking.

One parent said this after the gaming social, “Thank you for inviting him. He had a great time. It was nice to see everybody joining in.”

We now plan to hold gaming socials regularly throughout the year. Our next one is on December 22nd. If you would like to take part, know someone who would or would just like some more information, please email: josie@accesstechnology.co.uk.

Our lives are lived both offline, and, these days, more online than ever before. This includes our relationships, friendships, and sexual expressions. Whether you are swiping right on dating apps or hanging out with someone in person, consent is always essential. But how does consent work online? Is it different from "IRL" (in real life) situations? This post will explain how consent stays the same no matter where you are. No matter the setting, consent should always be: 1. Freely Given Co

Love on the spectrum: Neurodivergent friendly dating apps

Dating is already a confusing, vulnerable, and sometimes overwhelming experience for anyone. But for neurodivergent people, it can come with an extra layer of challenges that many others never have to think about. Whether you’re autistic, have ADHD, a brain injury, or live with other forms of neurodivergence, the world of dating can feel like it wasn’t built for you. From decoding body language and reading between the lines, to managing sensory overload in noisy bars or dealing with the unpredi
