People with cognitive disabilities have an equal right to technology and information access. A coalition of disability organizations and individuals asserted this right in the official declaration, The Rights of People with Cognitive Disabilities to Technology and Information Access and introduced it at the Thirteenth Annual Coleman Institute National Conference on Cognitive Disability and Technology, held October 2, 2013, in Broomfield, Colorado.
The Coleman Institute for Cognitive Disabilities has assembled a group of informational handouts and videos to help inform and promote the Declaration. We invite you to learn about the declaration and how you can make a difference by visiting the Declaration Tools page.
