Disabled unaware of assistive telecoms services (Ireland)

Steve Hards

Survey of disabled people in Ireland shows, amongst other things, that “Only one in four people with disabilities use the internet, compared with a figure of nearly a half for the overall population. People with disabilities are almost half as likely as the general population to have an internet connection at home and are less likely to feel they will get one in the future. Less than 30pc are aware of assistive technologies that can help.” Item from Siliconrepublic.
