Digital Inclusion and Disability

Abstract

In this chapter, we will apply cyberpsychological, psychological, and sociological theories to the issue of inclusion in the online world for people with disabilities, a group of individuals often overlooked within society. The use of technology to communicate has become an essential and socially acceptable aspect of most people’s lives and it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between the “digital world” and the “real world” (Helsper, 2008; Ritchie & Blanck, 2003). Hence, Digital Inclusion is an increasingly important social issue, reflecting imperatives, opportunities, and considerations about human rights, equity, issues of identity, language, social participation, community and civic engagement, and opportunity pertaining to the digital world (Castells, 1997; Warschauer, 2003). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
