“…Many of the studies addressed a limited number of research questions and only examined or recorded a small proportion of online activities. For example, five studies 22,26,42,43,44 focused on social media use, but did not present data on other types of Internet use. Two studies investigated cyberbullying 23,45 and, therefore, had a focus on the use of social media and other forms of online communication, including messaging apps.…”

Many people with intellectual disability experience digital inequality due to a lack of Internet access; this is known as the digital divide. Digital inequality is also apparent when people with intellectual disability have Internet access, but only use it for a small number of applications (e.g., watching videos and playing games). Recently, it has been suggested that digital inequality also occurs in situations where some Internet users are less likely than others to translate their online activities to offline resources, including educational outcomes and social capital. The extent to which people with intellectual disability are translating their online activities to offline resources has not been examined. We conducted a systematic and critical review using PRISMA guidelines. The search strategy terms ''intellectual disability'' and ''Internet use'' were used to search the databases: Scopus; Wiley Online Library; Psychiatry Online; Web of Science; CINAHL; and PubMed. Twentyfour studies were found, which described 53 types of Internet use, 48 risks of Internet use, and 28 benefits of Internet use. The data were identified thematically and categorized to facilitate comparisons. The most frequently reported types of Internet use were in the category of social media/social networking (23%), the most common Internet risks were in the category of emotional distress (24%), and the most often reported benefits were in the category of friendships and social connection (33%). The findings indicate that the benefits of Internet use for people with intellectual disability have received much less attention than the risks.

“…They also found that when using a purpose designed application to access videos, which uses only visuals for interactions, they were able to complete pre-determined queries. Sitbon and colleagues [5,6,16] have observed how young adults perform various information access tasks, through search engines, voice search and social media. They have shown that users were able to use support from people around them to perform the various aspect of online information seeking, and that visuals were a key feature that supported them [16].…”

“…They have shown that users were able to use support from people around them to perform the various aspect of online information seeking, and that visuals were a key feature that supported them [16]. They also found that a large majority of young adults with intellectual disability were using Youtube [6], that voice search can be empowering and effective for querying but more support is needed for information access beyond the query [5], particularly in instances where the system cannot understand a user properly. Because of their visual nature, platforms that provide information in video form are good candidates to provide information that is accessible and in an accessible manner to people with intellectual disability [2].…”

“…The observations we have made were during fieldwork conducted by 4 members of the research team. Some of these observations were made incidentally during time spent in one of four community based centers over a period of 4 years where we explored how people use information access technology [16] and social media [6], but also investigated new types of interactions [17]. Some of the observations were made during technology use workshops, called "Techshops", which we conducted over a one year period.…”

“…In a study focusing on social media and conducted in 2018 [6], we formally observed that 100% of people with ID used YouTube, with a few sparingly using among social media and Google. The characterization of participation in YouTube was however solely for entertainment purposes such as listening to their favorite music, watching movies (drama, or children's shows).…”

Online videos are a medium of choice for young adults to access or receive information, and recent work has highlighted that it is a particularly effective medium for adults with intellectual disability, by its visual nature. Reflecting on a case study presenting fieldwork observations of how adults with intellectual disability engage with videos on the Youtube platform, we propose a framework to define and evaluate the accessibility of such large video repositories, from an informational perspective. The proposed framework nuances the concept of information accessibility from that of the accessibility of information access interfaces themselves (generally catered for under web accessibility guidelines), or that of the documents (generally covered in general accessibility guidelines). It also includes a notion of search (or browsing) accessibility, which reflects the ability to reach the document containing the information. In the context of large information repositories, this concept goes beyond how the documents are organized into how automated processes (browsing or searching) can support users. In addition to the framework we also detail specifics of document accessibility for videos. The framework suggests a multi-dimensional approach to information accessibility evaluation which includes both cognitive and sensory aspects. This framework can serve as a basis for practitioners when designing video information repositories accessible to people with intellectual disability, and extends on the information presentation guidelines such as suggested by the WCAG.
