Rix Centre work
Inclusive New Media Design took place at The Rix Centre for Innovation and Learning Disability in London. The Rix Centre make websites for people with intellectual disabilities. They experiment with different kinds of media, trying out different approaches. In this video clip their Director Andy Minnion talks about the work of the Rix Centre.
Here are some websites The Rix Centre have made:
- Trans-active
Trans-active is a Mencap project which brings teenagers with and without intellectual disabilities together to make multimedia which communicates the interests, aspirations and support needs of the intellectually disabled participants. - The Tate Project
The Rix Centre was commissioned by HFT to make the TATE website to describe an inclusive project about employment to people with intellectual disabilities. Those with intellectual disabilities involved in the project have their own section called AT and Me where they can upload photographs and text. - The Road Ahead
The Road Ahead website was commissioned by SCIE to display online a report about young people with intellectual disabilites views on transition information. The research was carried out by a group of young people with intellectual disabilities from an advocacy group called North Somerset People First. - p-cubed
p-cubed was an experimental project produced by undergraduate students working with the Rix Centre. Its aim was to tell the stories of a group of adults with intellectual disabilities in a multimedia form which was engaging and innovative. - Newham Easy Read
This website is full of links to useful information about transition. This information has been created to help young people with learning disabilities to make choices when leaving school or college.
