Digital Technology is becoming ever more used by people with learning
disabilities for information, entertainment and to enjoy
self-expression. Despite this, there is a paucity of research into how
this cohort negotiate electronic interfaces, interpret images,
navigate pages and read online; what barriers there might be, and how
these could be obviated. This book explores these issues, establishing
how these and other factors facilitate or inhibit information access
and behaviour more generally. There are plenty of guidelines and
accessibility standards regarding electronic information presentation,
but most are outdated or have been formulated without empirical
evidence. Unlike prior literature this book is the result of many
years's research in the field, considers specific information
contexts, and develops new concepts in information behaviour. It is
written in non-technical, jargon-free language, relevant for
academics, students and professionals; from human-computer interaction
researchers, learning disability specialists and information
scientists to formal and informal carers and supporters, college
tutors, family members and others.
