We are an inclusive research institute with a mission to improve the lives of people with learning disabilities through effective use of digital and multimedia technologies. We lead research and learning partnerships and co-develop software and training to exploit the potential of digital tools for the benefit of our most excluded fellow citizens.
“Wikis are ideal for person centred planning and About Me profiles. We use them at Alexandra Centre to create ‘live’ support plans so that the young person’s education, health and care needs are met in a consistent way even when they move on from college.”

Our Vision
Our vision is to work together with people with disabilities and differences to transform lives through the creative use of media and technology.
Our Mission
Rix Inclusive Research’s mission is to work together with people with disabilities and differences to transform lives through the creative use of media and technology. This leads to greater independence, improved quality of life, self-actualisation and empowerment. We are also committed to carrying forward the legacy of Brian Rix, entertainer and advocate.
Our Approach
Our Research Institute is dedicated to working in partnership with disabled people, their families, and the professionals and organisations that work with them. Together we explore new technologies and how they can help people to learn, speak up for themselves, gain independence and manage their care and support in ways that work best for them.
