Adaptive Computer Empowerment Services (ACES)

UCP of San Diego has joined with Adaptive Computer Empowerment Services (ACES) to expand our ability to offer Internet-ready refurbished computer systems to people with disabilities. Eligibility requirements to receive a free desktop computer:

1. Resident of San Diego County
2. Medically verifiable disability
3. Perceived to be capable of using a computer
4. Low income (under $1,000/person/household/month)

ACES provides Pentium level Internet-ready computers with Windows 2000 or Windows 98, Microsoft Internet Explorer, e-mail program, a Microsoft-compatible office suite and other free software.

Recipients receive a desktop computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse. No printer is provided. There is a $50.00 processing fee that is paid when the application is submitted which then places the applicant’s name on the waiting list. If the recipient needs information or guidance on adaptive aides that are available for keyboard access to accommodate their disability, UCP staff can provide this assistance through their Assistive Technology Center Program.

Call for an application packet today: (858) 244-1226.
