It's important to try to give people an idea of
the world that they live in, no matter how severe the learning disability. The
internet is just one of many ways to get across international, local and personal
news.
I recommend you use a fast broadband internet connection if you can. Long boring
pauses can seriously affect conentration. Here are a handful of useful links:
News sources:
• Symbol World
- The news in symbols. A great starting point.
