'Lifestyle Empowerment and Enhancement via Computer, for people with a disability and/or their carer's.

My husband and I are committed to this concept through first hand experience, since I have lived with Cerebral Palsy from birth and Gerard is my carer.

 
Primarily for 'newbies', Cooinda Online, aims to assist those whose access to gaining the most out of their computer is limited, for what ever reason. 'Old hands' or 'nerds' are very welcome because it is from these people, we can all learn. 

 
The mission of Cooinda Online is to endeavour to: 

1. Enhance and Empower the lifestyle of people with a disability and/or chronic illness and their carers. 

2. Improve the enjoyment of the use of their computer.

3. Create a venue for those who are house bound to communicate via computer.

 
Here is an overview of what can be found on this web site. 

For those interested, I have written a brief history of the setting up of the web site:
