O2 and Samsung Join Forces to Help Kids with Autism across Ireland
What Can Your Phone Do? Mine can help kids with Autism
Our phone has a
5 megapixel camera,
Full Touch Screen with Touchwiz User Interface
Mobile Blogging, Tweeting and Facebook
Oh,
and It provides Art and Creative Play Therapy for Children with Autism in Laois
Because from every Samsung Tocca sold In O2 stores during the month of June, €10 will be going to Irish Autism Action Charities in Your Area.
So it could be taking pictures, playing music, surfing the web, hey, even making a few calls...
And allowing a child with Autism in Carlow to attend a national school with typical kids of their own age, with 1:1 Support.
or it could be helping older autistic kids in Rathfarnham learn to dress themselves independently, with their clothes around the right way.
Our phone helps parents and children with Autism, enjoy a well deserved break in a purpose built community support and training centre in Donegal.
Kevin Whelan of Irish Autism Action said today that "all our groups are having to work extra hard fundraising to continue to support the families and children with autism who need them so much.
Partnerships such as the new O2 and Samsung promotion to support IAA are a welcome innovation. IAA would ask everyone who is thinking of upgrading their phone to consider the Samsung Tocco as all support is hugely appreciated and badly needed.”
Irish Autism Action has been O2’s charity of choice since 2006 and the over-riding objective of the partnership is to create an opportunity for O2 to make a tangible and positive difference to the lives of individuals with autism, and their families, through fundraising, our people and our technology.
