Connecting People with a Disability

Mobile phone case

Person with intellectual disability seeking a smartphone to stay connected with their community and peers.

A 63-year-old woman who is based in Brisbane that has an intellectual disability is seeking a Huawei Smartphone so that she can continue to work from home and stay connected during the current escalating nature of COVID-19. She has very low digital literacy skills and the team want to get her fully connected online so that she has access to her community, peers, essential services and news updates. The Huawei phone will need 4G coverage, a larger screen, a good camera for Zoom and video calls, and large storage capacity for the necessary apps that she needs to have access to.
