| Title: | Disability and ICT in Institutions of Higher Learning: Values and Options for Persons with Disabilities |
| Authors: | Busuulwa, Abdul |
| Keywords: | People with Disabilities

| Issue Date: | 2011 |
| Abstract: | The topic for this paper presents both a challenge and an opportunity for Persons with
Disabilities (PWDs) wishing to enter the digital world. It is a challenge because the
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) options available to PWDs are rare
in such an LDC as Uganda; and it is an opportunity because knowing how many options
exist will sort out this problem. Disability and ICT is becoming an issue now because
many PWDs are making it to institutions of higher learning and ICT has become
embedded in everyday life and is progressively becoming indispensable in public,
business, personal efficiency or even in improvement of livelihoods (Baguma, 2008). |
