520 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are outdated or have been formulated without empirical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.
