Disabled people and ICT: Information and Resources

There is a lot of information out there about the topic of disabled people and ICT. On these pages, we intend to list relevant information and links to other useful resources.

We have ordered the various resources into different categories to make it easier to find what you need.

Also, don't forget to consult our tips for business and industry, for government and for the voluntary sector.

Policy reports and documents

Views are changing: these documents provide a vision on a more inclusive society or set out strategies for a more inclusive Information Society.

Technical documents and standards

Standardisation is key to inclusion. Products and services will only develop into more accessible ones if the standards and other technical documents setting out their design and implementation fully cover the needs of all users.

Regulatory resources

Free markets alone do not cater for everything. Regulation plays a key role in achieving inclusion objectives and pursuing accessibility and usability policies.
