Abstract

This paper deals with an important question: Why children and young people with disabilities are almost absent from the debate about children rights, specially, children participation rights? Figures show that children with disabilities represent, in our society, a minority within another minority, that of “children and young people”.

In order to answer this question, adults should change how to communicate with them and how to reach a major knowledge regarding new means of communication, above all, when new technology is involved. New technologies could facilitate the accessibility to information but also the communication of information and opinions itself. In this way the concept of “reasonable accommodation” should be expanded beyond the employment and occupation areas embracing others domains.
