CAFS’ mission is to promote physical and social skill development in children of all abilities and to promote inclusion. Their vision for technology in their center is for there to be four computers set up to be used by the children who attend programs. As part of their vision, these computers will promote the use of word processing and publishing utilities, as well as feature educational games. Kids will be able to use the computers to conduct research and play games on the internet in a safe online environment.
