Where are we ‘missing the boat’?
What is working?
Why’s it so important?
What could we try?
“As a result of Death by Indifference, an independentinquiry was carried out, which makes strongrecommendations for change to give people with alearning disability equal healthcare.”
“All politicians and professional bodies need tounderstand what is going wrong for people with alearning disability, and what needs to change to getthings right.”
Mencap, ‘Getting it right’
“Over 70% of adults who have difficulty reading have a computer at home. Of those who do, over 70% of them use it to access the internet.”
(From the 2004 report of the 1970 Cohort Study)
how can we better support people with learning disabilities to use, and enjoy, the internet?
how do we use web tools to empower people with learning disabilities?
how can the internet add ‘umph’ to the voices of those with learning disabilities and force change?
wouldn’t everyone like to see clearer, simpler, brighter websites with video and audio content?
what have we not thought of yet?
