Centro de Recursos para a Inclusão Digital (CRID) was born in 2006 at the Escola Superior de Educação e Comunicação Social of Politécnico de Leiria. As a privileged community support service in digital accessibility’s area, we have a fully equipped space with devices adapted for citizens with specific needs.
Our center and our support aim at all citizens with specific needs and their families, as well as institutions, schools and professionals who work in the area and have an interest in it.
Our Mission
Our mission is based on promoting the social inclusion of the population with specific needs, through the use of technical aids and support products, within the scope of digital accessibility. We have various technological resources at our disposal, and we also provide advice on the respective support tools, demonstrating support for the academic community and civil society. By combining multiple scientific areas, we also intend to study the development and innovation potential of accessible technologies.
