Enhancing the Internet access and use rates for people with disabilities is an important aspect of ensuring participation for all in the Information Society. While this group itself is a very diverse one, both in terms of accessibility needs and access rates, it is nevertheless characterised by relatively lower participation rates as a whole. It is however encouraging to see that the gap is apparently not so wide in some more advanced European information societies, such as Sweden and Denmark. |
