GOALS4LIFE stands for Global Online Assisted Learning & Support. Our aim is to create an innovative virtual Information and Communications Technologies teaching and learning environment.
Disabled people have the right to choose how they learn and how technology can enrich their lives. We're working together with individuals, local authorities, Government, educational establishments and other online learning enterprises to advance education, research and inclusive learning by distance communication activities locally, regionally, nationally and internationally via different forms of video online for children and adults with a variety of disabilities associated with speech, language and communication.
We're advancing the understanding of the public into the social, educational and technological needs of people, young and old, who have disabilites in the UK and worldwide. Read on to find out more about how we're doing this.
GOALS4LIFE is shared with other Educational Enterprises: Deafax, SpecialKidz International, Ability2Access, Deaf Sports & Football Foundation, Decibels, Deaf Aspirations and EASiTEC.
These Educational Enterprises focus on distance communication/learning activities via different forms of online Video Conferencing for children with deafness and those with speech, language and communication disabilities, their parents and teachers. They will be able to communicate locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
Our Objects and Powers explain our aims and how we're going to meet them.
