Dear Karen,
MTM serve people with dyslexia and other impairment. In fact, this is the largest one of the user groups. MTM has about 45 000 active users (that is, they have been active during the past 12 months).
We are actually not allowed to register the actual reason for the reading impairment. But we assume that we have 590 users who are visually impaired. We assume this because they are registered as Braille users. But there might be visually impaired users who are not registrered as Braille users because they don´t use Braille.
Best regards
Kristina

Ämne: [IFLA-LPD] Quick question re dyslexia
Dear colleagues,
I have a quick question for you.
Are you serving people with perceptual disabilities such as dyslexia?
If so, what percentage of the people you serve have perceptual disabilities such as dyslexia, and what percentage are blind, visually impaired or physically disabled?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
