Learning Disabilities Wales shares with us its effort at raising PCT awareness through free sessions for people with a learning disability and service providers in Wales. Hft shows how using PCT has allowed more independence and, as a result, more self-esteem for persons with disabilities. The Emilia Romagna's Regional Centre for Assistive Technology demonstrates that the prolonged use of PCT is more economically effective than staff and carers, while allowing greater autonomy. The AsTeRICS project is presented to adapt assistive solutions at a low-cost and in a more user-friendly fashion. BlueAssist and Cloudina are applications that allow for people with disabilities to be more in control of their lives and more autonomous. The last article is on the European Thematic Network on Assistive information technology, which implemented a European Web Portal providing information on ICT-based assistive products available in Europe. - Virtual environments with ideas to help people be more independent in their own homes
