Portland news channel KPTV Highlights the work of fidgetech

Fidgetech is a Portland area nonprofit founded in 2016 that helps train young adults experiencing autism for jobs, mainly when it comes to technology. That means hands-on training in classes like computer game design, programming, and also audio and video creation. Justine Haigh, Fidgetech’s founder puts it this way: “We’re trying to create a bridge of opportunities from first exploring and trying out what’s possible with technology, to then being trained and educated, and then on to internships and with obviously the end goal being employment,” Haigh said.
