DEVELOPING DIGITAL AUTONOMY IN YOUNG ADULTS WITH DOWN SYNDROME
The literature presents a portrait of the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) by persons with intellectual disability (ID). However, the evolution of ICT use among these individuals over time is not documented. The objective of this study is to trace the evolution of adults with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) who participated in a training program on the use of the iPad for 12 months. The results show an evolution in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) among all participants, regardless of their initial level of familiarity. In addition, with appropriate support, people with ID can develop their digital autonomy and thus be more self-determined in their use of ICTs.
