A Geek for Social Good, Mel aims to show the world that if you make things right for people with learning difficulties, then it is likely user friendly for all! With 5 years of experience at the charity VoiceAbility working alongside adults with learning difficulties to develop accessible and interactive educational tools and activities, Mel's experience is very much front line. Now working with The You Can Hub, she is recruiting a team of experts with learning difficulties and over 60's to work alongside her and show the world that the mainstream accessibility of tablets really can change the world.
