TEC Stories Films
A powerful collection of personal stories
TSA have been working with ADASS and Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) to create a powerful collection of ‘TEC Stories’, capturing ten very different, very personal stories, all of which paint a vivid picture of how technology enabled care is transforming people’s lives.
The stories are told from the individual’s perspective, using their experiences and their own unique circumstances to communicate what TEC means to them.
"By giving a voice to people who are already using a wide range of technology, this resource offers political leaders, commissioners and practitioners a case for change. The message from these stories is that technology is just a means to an end. The end, in the words of the Care Act, is promoting the wellbeing of the individual."
Alyson Scurfield, TSA CEO

I hope you find the stories interesting. We wanted them to demonstrate how life-enabling technology can be when it focuses on the outcomes that matter to the people themselves.
