Moisey Developmental Disabilities Public Libraries Foreign Countries Educational Technology Assistive Technology Accessibility (for Disabled) Library Services Access to Information Library Development Program Descriptions Program Development Through assistive technology, individualized support, and community-based activities, the Inclusive Libraries Initiative is increasing the capacity of rural libraries in Northeast Alberta to attract and serve patrons with disabilities, particularly developmental disabilities. Local public libraries are important natural supports for adults with developmental disabilities and others, providing access to web-based information and communication technology (ICT) as well as to conventional library offerings. Enhanced access to ICT is an important step in helping individuals with developmental disabilities increase their ability to obtain firsthand information, broaden their social support network through the use of communication technologies, and bridge the "digital divide" that prevents them from full inclusion in our knowledge-based society. |
