Abstract

Most of physically disabled children in Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008 had strong demand for internet use to obtain information on daily rehabilitation, expand interpersonal relationship and support schoolwork progress, so “Digital Campus” built after disaster provided the environment for internet use. Nevertheless, parents and teachers had disagreements regarding physically disabled children's independent internet use. To guide physically disabled children's reasonable use of internet, it is necessary to form a collaboration mechanism of government, community, school and family, develop “applicable” resources and focus on improving physically disabled children's capability of information identification.
