Our Mission
With technology, our children have risen to meet their full potential. Each of us and our children have forged new vistas by technology, increasing participation in classrooms, communities and workplaces. Our mission is to continue to discover new technologies, educate others on technological resources available, and influence the very policy-makers and producers that shape the tech industry.
Our Vision
Our vision is to live in a world where individuals with disabilities and special needs are pioneering the forefront of technology. A world where demand for technology is pulled by individual’s need rather than pushed by corporation’s pockets. Families at the Forefront stands to create a beneficial relationship between technology producers and those who have the greatest need for technology to enable their lives. We invite you to stand with us.
Our Focus
Families at the Forefront of Technology (FFT) is the brainchild of five families, each pioneers in the world of special needs and disability. Our dynamic group of individuals come with impressive personal and professional track records and are known for creativity and innovate solutions for people with disabilities in Colorado. Please see our About page learn more about each families’ individual focus.Slide8
