Produktbeschreibung
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have revolutionized the way humans communicate with each other. ICTs particularly offer enormous opportunities to Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), as they provide them with ways of communicating that might be otherwise denied in traditional communication methods.

For PWDs in developing countries this barrier is twofold as it includes, apart from design, all the disadvantages inherent in the developing world, such as difficulty of gaining good internet access. Because PWDs constitute a complex and heterogeneous group, this book explores the nature of opportunities and barriers for Persons with Visual Disabilities (PWVDs) using ICTs in Uganda.
