At Rix Inclusive Research, we believe everyone deserves the right to access the assistive technology they need to learn, work, and socialise.
That’s why we’re proud to announce our recent membership of the British Assistive Technology Association (BATA).
Many members of the RIX team personally use assistive technology. This firsthand experience of how powerful technology can be in helping us to achieve our goals and deliver projects is central to everything we do. We even see our own software, like the RIX Wiki, as an assistive tool, empowering people to live life to the fullest and reach their potential.
Beyond joining BATA, we’re continuously working to raise the profile of, and campaign for, more equitable access to Assistive Technology (ATech) for everyone who can benefit. We drive this forward through innovation, leading events such as our inclusive hackathons, and through our active partnership with Policy Connect and the ATech Policy Lab. We champion the value of inclusive technology, sharing our research and successes with Policy Lab Director Robert McLaren and an all-party parliamentary group.
For a compelling look at the impact of ATech, especially in education, check out this video from a recent BATA research project. It offers a great introduction for anyone wanting to learn more.
