Website highlights ICT products for disabled and elderly

By Tony Watts - Editor - 01/02/2007

  The Aidis Trust has launched a new website to make new technology more
readily accessible. It provides featuring free, impartial and
comprehensive advice on computing with, uniquely, reviews of
Information and Communications technology (ICT) - written by disabled
people for disabled people.

 

There are also free software downloads and a non-profit online shop
offering substantial discounts on computers and adaptations for people
who receive Disability Living Allowance or Attendance Allowance.

 

Simon Roberts, Chairman of the Aidis Trust and partner of IBM
consulting said: “Wheelchair access has long been recognised as
essential to the inclusion of Disabled People in society. With ICT
becoming central to everyday life, we risk replacing physical barriers
with technological ones. ICT must be a force for inclusion and not
exclusion.”
