Never before have the civil rights of people with disabilities aligned so well with developments in information and communication technology. This book is about the struggle for disability rights, with a focus on Web equality for people with cognitive disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, autism, and print-related disabilities.

People with disabilities have faced a long history of exclusion, stigma and discrimination, but have made impressive gains in the past decades. This book provides an overview of the progress and continuing disparities faced by people with disabilities around the world, reviewing hundreds of studies and presenting new evidence from analysis of surveys and interviews with disability leaders.
