Regular features
The emphasis of Ability magazine is on practical issues around people in work and education and just enjoying daily life through the huge and growing potential of information and communications technologies. We will all individually be affected sooner or later as we grow older, suffer accidents or fall prey to degenerative diseases.
The practical, positive approach of Ability magazine is reflected in its regular features, including:
Work Study: a live case study of IT supporting someone at work or in education
Briefing: a straightforward guide to a technology or other issue
Ability Interview: a chance for people working in the field of disability to have their say.
In addition the News and Resources sections keep employers, educators and disabled people themselves up to date with current issues and new product developments, while the Feedback section enables readers to share their views.
Editorial deadlines are as follows:
Spring March 3

Note: these are deadlines for agreed supplied contributions: offers of articles, ideas and other material should be made by a month earlier. For further information contact the editor, John Lamb john.lamb@abilitymagazine.org.uk
