2013 SUNspot (Number 02) - Disability, Household Income and Use of Wireless Devices

This SUNspot addresses the question of whether household income is a factor in use of mobile wireless technology by people with disabilities. Two questions specific will be addressed:

  • Does income affect the ownership of wireless devices such as cellphones, smartphones and tablets by people with any type of disability?
  • Does income affect the types of devices (basic cellphone, smartphone, or tablet) that people with disabilities own?
