Adam Oliver, BT’s Head of Disability and Inclusion Research e-Access 13

We are proud of inclusion and 2012 was an inspiring year. It is our honour to be part of the delivery of the Games

Since the First World War we have been inclusive

We each had our own experience of the Games

What have we done since with that inspiration?

We worked with inspiring people

Remember our work with Scope around creating the best communication device?

We did this because we were inspired by Nat Sides

Then we worked with Scope on independent living to help people use everyday technology with an assistive interface

That was also fun

And we worked with the RCA Helen Hamlin Institute to look at barriers to technology and we did a nice report at

We didn’t think we would create a music instrument, it was a Tailored Touch Interface that you can all make

Our work with RCA and Scope helped people like Lyn Levett from the Paraorchestra thrive It all began in the late 80's. Lyn bought a Commodore 64 inch computer from Boots that had a music package Lyn has cerebral palsy and produces music on a Mac using Logic Pro. She uses a trackball to input notes and other actions. Lyn also has an iPad with several music apps and operates the pad with her nose. Lyn is highly creative and has been described as producing the “most dizzyingly brilliant electronic music.”

And we met Shani

A musician with a vision impairment, a handbag and a big personality

But we wanted to share all this innovation with people, so that anyone can benefit on Instructables

Lastly an option

Which inspiring story do you want to hear?

2012 legacy is all about creating an inspirational inclusive society, we are proud to be helping in a little way

Thank you Adam Oliver
