Tiivistelmä

In this paper, we study one part of digital divide which is digital disability divide. Digital disability divide exists between people with impairments and those without impairments, because multiple studies have shown that people with impairments less often own a computer or an internet connection than people without impairments. However, digital disability divide is not only about access but also about accessibility and use. For people with impairments, new technological innovations offer a solution for every day challenges such as finding information, communicating with other people and using electronic services. Our goal for this paper is to create a conceptual framework for analysing digital disability divide and for helping to find solutions for it.
