How do young people with intellectual disabilities use internet to take part in everyday digital life and an ever more internet based society? We explores this question from the target group鈥檚 own perspective, using methods adapted for the purpose.

RemindMe is a new web-based planning and reminder aid. We are developing and testing the new digital tool, which is a support for individuals to remember activities and plan their day-to-day life.

The research includes children and young people with activity limitations in their everyday lives. This can be due to intellectual disabilities, ADHD, mobility impairments, or no specific diagnosis but with need of special support in school.

Adolescents and young adults with intellectual disabilities need more support if they are to participate in the ongoing rapid digitalisation. There are difficulties, but also great opportunities, as shown by Kristin Alfredsson Ågren in her thesis.
