The Digital Lives of People with Learning Disabilities: Methodological Considerations

Abstract

Mobile technology is becoming ubiquitous, with usage ranging across such diverse activities as \ndirection-finding, music storage, photography, texting, checking social-media, accessing newspapers \nand watching TV. This paper describes a major study examining the use of such technology by people \nwith Learning Disabilities (LD). It concentrates on the issues related to undertaking research with this \nspecific cohort – such as difficulties participants may have in generalising, abstract thinking, and the \npossible tendency to simply agree with comments or questions made by the researcher (known as \nacquiesce bias) - and methods being adopted to minimise or obviate these completely.
