Diagnosis of comprehension difficulties of informative texts and texts related to human rights by people with intellectual disabilities in Greece, Poland and Lithuania. (IO3)
Study with adults with ID to research their understanding of basic human rights and their capacity to enjoy these rights in their daily lives (access to health, work, education, security, housing, participation in decision making, citizenship etc.). This study is based on a review of literature on accessibility and human rights for persons with ID and empirical research undertaken in Greece, Poland and Lithuania. Key issues of the empirical research with people with ID include the availability of appropriately accessible information and the capacity of individuals with ID to express their respective needs and aspirations. A research report charts comparative analysis and synthesis of the results, and provides conclusions and recommendations on the implications for information design and production for the effective inclusion of intellectually disabled citizens.
Executive Summary of the Report and the Recommendations documents have been translated in Greek, Polish and Lithuanian and can be accessed through the respective national section.
