Reach Out

ICIS was commissioned by West Sussex County Council's Aiming High for Disabled Children programme to develop an engaging and accessible information portal. The REACH OUT website contains a comprehensive information directory covering a broad range of topics, a calendar of local advice on education, money matters, transition, short breaks, respite, equipment, support groups and much more. The site also contains an innovative resource called 'COMMUNIC8' which consists of imaginative techniques and tools which explore the creative ways we can communicate with each other.

The site provides vital information in one place for young people and their families, empowering them to access the support and advice they might need. The website is an evolving resource and want everyone to contribute by sharing their experiences, ideas and projects through various mediums. If you are holding any events for disabled children and their families in West Sussex please email gemma.orpwood@icis-info4life.org.uk and the details will be added to the events calendar, giving you more coverage and promotion.
