Tyze is an online social networking tool that provides disability-serving organizations with both the technology and support required to effectively place a person who is vulnerable to being isolated, at the centre of a caring social network of family, friends and caregivers. By working with private health care providers, government departments, health authorities, and corporations, Tyze can provide thousands of people with access to a transformative model of networking that focuses on contribution and ability rather than needs and disability.
We’re thrilled to now be delivering Tyze’s secure, personal, online networks to forward-thinking organizations who want to use Tyze to collaborate and stay in touch with the people they serve and the friends and families that support them.
One of the first organizations to purchase Tyze was BACI (the Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion), an organization that has dedicated over 50 years to providing innovative supports and services to children, youth and adults with developmental disabilities and their families. BACI continues to seek out opportunities to increase the social and economic inclusion of individuals with disabilities, and support them in becoming fully participating members of the community.
