Description: The "BeyondDigits" project aims to address the priority of "Inclusion and diversity in all fields of education and training" by removing barriers to adult education and enhancing financial literacy for individuals with Developmental/Intellectual Disability (DD/ID). The project seeks to enrich the DD/ID educational community with quality, effective, and free access tools, while also upskilling professionals working with people with DD/ID by integrating digital tools into their clinical practice.
To achieve these goals, the project will implement several activities, including identifying needs and conducting research on financial literacy for adults with DD/ID, developing tailored digital and non-digital training materials, and conducting learning, teaching, and training activities for individuals with DD/ID and their trainers. Additionally, the project will carry out assessment, dissemination, and exploitation activities.
The expected outcomes of the project include a complete Training Toolkit on financial literacy tailored for individuals with DD/ID, training individuals with DD/ID on financial literacy, and training professionals on using these technology tools in their clinical practice. The project will also develop digitized online modules and an open-access platform providing all the material for free, while raising awareness and disseminating the project results.
