Description
Hello.
I’m Alex Roland and I run “Your IT Now”.
We are 100% independent and provide one to one support for people with a learning disability to learn to use the internet, technology, computers, iPad etc. in a safe way that enables people to better engage with their friends family and local community.
We specialise in helping people with things like YouTube channels, film making, in fact anything that involves tech.
As well as specialised technology support, we can also offer more general care and support packages for people with a learning disability.
I have over 20 years of experience working with people with a learning disability in both the private and public sectors and am more than happy to chat with you about how I may be able to help you.
I may be able to help with:
- money
- trips out
- shopping
- social events
- looking for work
- dealing with benefits and applications
- advocacy
- or any other aspect of daily life
My services can be paid for by individual budgets, direct payments or privately funded.
We also run courses on internet and social media safety for people with learning disabilities, as well as courses for parents and carers on “Sensible sex education” for people with learning disabilities. This course was commissioned by Somerset County Council .
In July 2017 we were thrilled to win the “Making a difference” award at the National Learning Disabilities and Autism Awards at the International Conference Centre in Birmingham. We were also nominated and are a finalist for the 2022 Sedgemoor Business Awards community contribution award. We were gold winners at the Somerset Outstanding Care Awards 2019 in the community.
