Join All Friends Network: Take Advantage of Live Link Network
When someone is already susceptible to problems and illnesses, being cut off from others can have devastating effects. Making friends outside of the typical contexts of family, school, and extracurricular activities can be a turning point toward greater autonomy for people with developmental impairments like cerebral palsy and autism. During the pandemic, everyone stayed home and avoided socializing since they either had to work or study or were worried about the effects of COVID-19 on their health. With no end in sight, the weeks turned into months, and the months became years. Isolation made if challenging for anyone to socialize, especially those with health concerns and increased susceptibility to contracting viruses.
A New Social Network for Developmental Disabilities
All Friends Network was founded in the midst of the epidemic by Trevor Kelliher, who has cerebral palsy. It is a free app and social network for people with developmental impairments who are looking to meet friends. The objective was to facilitate social interactions that would lead to the formation of new connections and the strengthening of existing ones, as well as the possibility of attending real-world activities and meeting these new acquaintances in person once the pandemic limitations were relaxed. In order to facilitate meeting others with similar interests and backgrounds, a social network tailored to those with cerebral palsy and autism is required. Our goal at All Friends Network is to facilitate friendship-making among persons of all ages who have developmental challenges.
Members of our social support network may connect and communicate with one another through their mobile devices by downloading our free app. The Live-LINK app is currently operational, however it is restricted to those who are part of the All Friends Network. This aids in excluding those who might cause a disruption because they lack empathy for those with developmental impairments. Many people who have sought to establish friends in larger, more open networks have been subjected to bullying and other unpleasant experiences. The mission of All Friends Network is to facilitate friendship among people with developmental impairments such as cerebral palsy, autism, and Down syndrome. Calling our staff is the only way to join this exclusive network for persons with impairments.
