Communications and the handicapped (an edited version) : final report / Paul S. Licker.: Co24-478/1-1978E-PDF
"The disabled, at first glance, seem to be the one group which can benefit most from telecommunications. Limited in their mobility, they should be prime beneficiaries from a technology which can shrink distances and eliminate barriers of all kinds to social intercourse. But first impressions can be as misleading as they are general. A more deliberate approach to this question should involve a precise examination of the disabled's needs, as well as an exacting assessment of the ways in which the communications media meet, or can be shaped to meet, these needs"--Introduction, page 5.
