"This study uses the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability to explore the experiences of barriers to accessibility related to Internet use while doing certain online activities among persons with disabilities aged 15 years and over. Descriptive statistics show that 17% of persons with disabilities experience barriers when using the Internet for a number of online activities and that the proportion experiencing such barriers varied by disability-related and sociodemographic characteristics. Disability-related factors associated with higher odds of experiencing barriers included having more severe disabilities, having unmet needs for disability supports and having unmet needs for help with everyday activities. In terms of sociodemographic factors, the odds of experiencing barriers to accessibility related to Internet use were higher among 2SLGBTQ+ persons and lower among women"--Abstract, page 4.
