Help with PhD study
24th March 2023
My name is Sally Ferguson-Wormley I am a PhD student at Manchester Metropolitan University. I also work at Speakup.
My PhD (study) is looking at how people with learning disabilities can be involved in design with tech companies, like Google, Meta (Facebook), Microsoft and Apple.
This is because we know that people with learning disabilities face lots of problems when trying to use the internet and technology and that people are often not included in designing these services or products.
I am working with people with learning disabilities and tech companies to carry out some research to try and find ways to work together and solve some of these problems.
Together we have created some questionnaires and will be running some focus groups to find out what people think.
We would like to hear from:
You can have your say by filling out the questionnaire online by clicking the links above, or if you want, I can send you an easy read paper copy of the questionnaire. You have to be 18 or over to take part.
You have between the 20th of March and 5th of May 2023 to have your say.
If you have any questions or would like a paper copy of the questionnaire, please email:
Sally.ruth@mmu.ac.uk for more details
With best wishes
