THE DIGITAL DIVIDE & DISABILITY

A digital divide is any uneven distribution in the access to, use of, or impact of Information and Communication Technologies between any number of distinct groups, which can be defined based on social, geographical, or geopolitical criteria, or otherwise.  Join disABILITYsa, OATS, and the City of San Antonio Disability Access Office in a discussion about barriers, resources, and issues around people living with a disability and access to the online world. ​
