Happy Digital Inclusion Week (DIW)! This is an annual nationwide event dedicated to raising awareness about digital equity and the importance of inclusion in our increasingly digital world.

Everyone deserves access to technology and the Internet. But we know at CSA that it goes beyond just access. People should be aware of the different options available and know how to use them.

As a member of the WNY Digital Equity Committee and home of the Let's Connect digital equity program, this is a cause very important to the CSA mission. We teach people with I/DD how to use technology and the Internet.

Need to brush up on your technology skills or want to learn a new skill? Contact us to book your Let's Connect appointment today!

A few weeks ago, we were asked to join in on the Ciscrp Journey to Better Health Initiative at their Buffalo events! Journey to Better Health uses an interactive RV to bring health information TO the community. They have an interactive exhibit (accessible to all) inside their traveling RV and provide information about why clinical trials and health research is so important to advance health information.

CSA is so grateful we were included in this awesome event! Bridging the gap of health inequality is part of our mission!

Check out CSA staff Maddie & Ian (and Niko!) on the news with CISCRP staff :)
