3. Social media gets a lot of attention, but something that’s not often discussed, is how when used appropriately, it can be a really useful communication tool for disabled people.

5. SOCIAL MEDIA AS A COMMUNICATION TOOL FOR DISABLED PEOPLE

6. A big community that benefit from this is deaf people. Sure, many deaf people are able to sign, but unfortunately, the number of hearing people that know BSL is fairly limited. Social media gives them a platform to communicate in text, meaning that they can communicate with anyone, without them necessarily needing to know BSL. This is also the case for hearing impaired people who may find in person or verbbabl comunication more difficult and would find it easier to talk via text on a social platform.

7. Another group that benefit from social media, is people who have difficulty with or are unable to speak. This can be people who cannot do this because of a physical condition or people who have difficulties with speech or the processing of verbal comunication due to conditions like mutism or as part of a condition like autism. Again, it can allow them to have conversations, in a format that’s accessible to them, with a wide range of people, they literally wouldn’t have access to or would struggle to have access to, in person.

8. People with visual impairment using Braille: Braille, a tactile writing system, allows people with visual impairment to access and interact with written information. It improves their ability to read books, navigate public spaces, and communicate effectively. Braille provides independence and inclusion for individuals with visual impairments, enabling them to access educational materials, literature, and important documents. Through Braille, individuals can engage with written information, participate in academic and professional pursuits, and enhance their overall quality of life.

9. Many people who struggle with socialisation such as autistic people and people with mental health conditions such as anxiety, find social media can help them to access social opportunities. This is because, by participating in an online chat or group or by talking to individuals via a social platform, they feel they have a bit more control over minimising the potential problems. For example, they are able to get out of the situation much quicker than they would be able to in real life, just by closing the application or by explaining that they need to go, which is considerably more socially acceptable online.

10. They may also be able to find groups to cater to more niche interests or groups of people who have a similar disability, that may not be available in their local area. These can provide a great opportunity for socialisation with people they’ve usually already got something in common with.
