The BCS Disability Group focuses on the role of IT in giving disabled people a better quality of life. Aims of the group include: encouraging the computer industry to consider the needs of disabled people at the design stage; identifying and correcting shortfalls in the provision of equipment; offering a forum to stimulate new IT developments in this field. The Group publishes a magazine, organises meetings, roadshows and conferences and has set up a local support network for disabled people. The ITCH Network is a project of the British Computer Society Disability Group, which focuses on how computer technology can help disabled people. ITCH Network covers more than 40 counties in the UK and aims to have full coverage by 2003. For more information telephone 07985-779071 or visit the website www.itcanhelp.org.uk.
