Description
Summary:Aims: Research from the 2000s onward reveals significant digital access disparities for people with learning disabilities (LD). These individuals often have lower rates of computer ownership, internet use, and digital skills compared with their non-disabled peers. The situation is more pronounced for those with co-existing mental health conditions, leaving them further excluded from digital rights. Few studies have explored the reasons behind this digital divide or proposed solutions to improve internet access.
