RIX Research and Media researches and develops digital tools and promotes their use for the benefit of people with intellectual disabilities across education, health and care. Working from the RIX Centre at the University of East London, the RIX team co-develops highly accessible multimedia software tools with people with a learning disability, autism and dementia, their families and carers and the spectrum of organisations and professionals that work with them.
RIX tools facilitate self-advocacy and help person-centred care and support services to be put into practice. The Centre’s flagship product, the RIX Wiki has been adopted by local authorities, CCGs, care-provider organisations, schools, colleges across England and Wales and is a selected Innovation with NHS England’s National Innovation Accelerator programme (2020).
