How we do it

The Rix Centre - advice, support, teaching & training, research & development

The Rix Centre runs a Research and Development Lab based at the University of East London, where it works with the learning disability community developing ways to use the latest new media technologies to improve people’s daily lives.

The Centre team builds innovative software packages and researches the range of opportunities in which new media technology can be deployed. 

The Rix Centre provides advice and support for organisations taking up these new ways of supporting and informing people with learning disabilities and runs training courses in which social and community care professionals can learn alongside the people they support.

The Centre also provides undergraduate and post graduate courses in Multimedia Advocacy and shares its experience and expertise through a programme of events, presentations and research publication in online and print formats.
