I am looking for information, websites, technologies, studies etc on disability issue in the context of new technologies. I would be grateful if you could provide me leads.
Howdy, It would be great to know if you have a specific context in mind, but here are a few more resources on disability and new technology: 1) Digital disability : the social construction of disability in new media / Gerard Goggin and Christopher Newell. Lanham : Rowman & Littlefield, c2003 2) Science and the Disadvantaged / Gregor Wolbring. Available at: http://www.edmonds-institute.org/wolbring.html 3) The Web Accessibility Initiative Homepage: http://www.w3.org/WAI/ 4) Microsoft's accessibility site: http://www.microsoft.com/enable/ 5) The Pew Internet and American Life Project has information on disability and technology sprinkled through several of their reports: http://www.pewinternet.org/index.asp 6) The UW's DO-IT site has info on accessible technologies and education: http://www.washington.edu/doit/ 7) If you have access to the ACM digital library, you can peruse the SIGCAPH site (Special Interest Group on Computers and the Physically Handicapped) at: http://www.acm.org/sigcaph/ or the SIGCHI's special interest group on universal usability (CUU) at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigchi/cuu/. Ciao,
You might also try the Adaptive Technology Resource Centre: http://atrc.utoronto.ca/, in particular the online resources section: http://www.utoronto.ca/atrc/resources.html. We have links to many resources, papers, sites, etc. that you might find useful. I also have a couple of articles that address disability issues on this page: http://luke.rcat.utoronto.ca/articles/index.html Robert Matthew J Eliot wrote:
