This book develops a theoretical framework for a virtual community for people with long-term, severe mobility disabilities. It proposes strategies for implementing a virtual community model based on user information needs. There is a focus on how using information and communications technology (ICT) allows them to regain a sense of control, and how technology provides strategies for independence and facilitates self-empowerment.
