| Name of Organisation: | Askability |
| Headline: | Symbol based website for children/young people with disabilities |
| What We Do: | The Askability website was inspired by The Children's Society Solihull branch, after watching children at their project misunderstand the news about the war in Iraq. They decided that there was a need for a website which was presented entirely in symbol to enable children with learning disabilities to become informed about ongoing current affairs and also create a central forum for children to express their views and opinions. |
