Thank you so much to the #DownsSyndromeAssociation for sharing our call for research participants. Did you support someone with a learning disability with a free digital device they received during the pandemic? Contact us to join one of our online workshops and share your experience:

There’s still time for people with #LearningDisabilities to take part in our survey! Contact us for more information. #DigitalInclusion #SelfAdvocacy #Accessibility #Inclusion #AcademicSky

Please share! Did your organisation support people with #LearningDisabilities to get set up with free tablets through the #DigitalLifelineFund in 2021? We want to hear from you! #LearningDisabilityWeek #AcademicSky #AutRes #Survey #SocialResearch #DigitalInclusion #DigitalLifeline

It’s #LearningDisabilityWeek and this year’s theme is about being seen, heard and valued. Find out more about how people with #LearningDisabilities are part of our project at www.digitallifeline.org #LDWeek

In our project, we work together to learn what kinds of support people with learning disabilities might need to use the internet, and devices like tablets or smartphones. #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay #GAAD #AutRes #LearningDisabilityResearch #DigitalLifeline

For example, to make reading or writing more accessible we could ask for leaflets, forms or letters to be given in a different way like easy-read or large print. #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay #GAAD #AutRes #LearningDisabilityResearch

When we make something more accessible, it means we make it easier to learn, understand, and take part. #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay

Today is #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay! #AutRes #LearningDisabilityResearch

Exciting times for the #DigitalLifeline project as work is well under way for the first phase of our research, and those who gave out tablets as part of the original #DigitalLifelineFund have now been contact about taking part!

We had our first @digitallifeline.bsky.social advisory group meeting this afternoon and I can’t express strongly enough how great it is to have a fantastic group of people advising a research project!
