"This book presents important new evidence about the benefits of digital technologies for people with learning disabilities providing much-needed new insights of value to carers, learning practitioners and social policy-makers." -- Barrie Gunter 'I cannot stress strongly enough how important this work is for social inclusion, in particular understanding vulnerable users and providing input to information/digital literacy programmes or information systems designs, to provide a much better chance of independent living for the cohort.' -- Andy Macfarlane People with disabilities are increasingly looking to use technology to enable them to live informed and connected lives. The challenge is ensuring that e-technology responds to people with different needs and supports people to realise their full potential in a diverse and safe way. This book explores the issues and opens the debate to how disabled people can be included in the technological era. -- Philip GibsonMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
