The Isle of Wight branch of The National Autistic Society (NAS) has launched a new websiteto give help, advice and information to local families affected by autism.
Visitors to the new website can find information about autism and details of what help and support is available in the local area. The new site contains all the latest branch news with details of forthcoming events such as coffee mornings, support groups, fundraising events and autism-friendly cinema screenings around the Island. The site also features photo galleries and there are even pages for young people with autism and their siblings which will feature social stories and games.
NAS Isle of Wight Branch Web Team co-ordinator, Gillian Elsom said “We are really excited with the new website and we hope to keep our members updated and entertained with news stories and interactive features. Autism is much more common than most people think and it affects each person in a different way. Therefore, we have made the site accessible to as many people as possible by adding features such as the option for extra large text and the website is speech enabled meaning that it is read out loud to the user.”
The website is now live and can be accessed at www.autism.org.uk/isleofwight.
