Digitalisation is increasingly becoming part of our lives and the failure to handle it properly has led to the exclusion of some sectors of the population, especially people with disabilities. For this reason, we wanted to incorporate models of transnational cooperation, seek synergies with other entities and be more innovative in our actions. In order to be able to address the needs of people with disabilities in the digital world, as well as to contribute to the development of their digital competences. Our objectives have been: O1 To favour the social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. O2 To train people with intellectual disabilities in digital skills. O3 Promote the creation of accessible digital tools.
This project has been requested to address the urgent need for digital inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. People with intellectual disabilities face major challenges in a digitalised society, and only 1 in 10 people have access to assistive technology, which increases their social exclusion. The main objective is to promote the social inclusion and autonomy of these people through training in digital skills. In addition, it seeks to encourage the creation of accessible digital tools by technology companies. The project also addresses the lack of adequate resources and methodologies to train these people in digital skills, developing an inclusive and accessible training model. Transnational cooperation will allow organisations to share experiences and innovative solutions, designing a quality methodology adapted to the specific needs of people with intellectual disabilities. In short, the project aims to improve the digital inclusion and autonomy of these people through training and the promotion of accessible tools.
