Today, we were pleased when Channel 4 news ran a story on its 12 o'clock programme about how people with learning disabilities are often excluded from accessing goods, services and even jobs online. We’d been involved in preparing the report so it was good to see some strong messages incorporated.
The report showed some of the assistive technology some people with learning disabilities used with The Rix Centre. Ultimately, the report made it clear that many people are literally excluded. Some people with learning disabilities were interviewed in order to back this up.
The report went on to say that some things that are really easy such as easy read options or simple technical changes are "often not even considered by government or businesses." The website provides a link to our website too which is good.
