Potential Impact for People with Disabilities

The purpose of this RERC is to find ways for everyone to use digital technologies which have become so essential to all aspects of life.

Our overall approach is dual in nature:

  1. Making sure that existing access solutions are effective, findable, affordable, and available on every computer or other digital technology.
  2. Identifying potential access issues in new and future technologies, as well as new solutions that ensure their accessibility.

Some targeted areas for impact by this RERC include:

  • Improvement in the ways that researchers, product developers, and caregivers’ approach assistive technology for dementia, including use of technology to engage people with dementia in the solutions that can support them — resulting in more meaningful participation in everyday life.
  • Greater inclusion of ICT users with disabilities in new technologies driven by artificial intelligence (AI), drawing from:
    • Datasets and techniques created by the RERC team in collaboration with users with disabilities and
    • Exploration of “teachable interfaces” as a mechanism for empowering users with disabilities to train the technology to better meet their needs.
  • New models for trial, delivery, and licensing of computer access technologies.
  • Better tools for users and clinicians to employ in identifying, evaluating, selecting, and personalizing existing accessibility solutions for ICT, thus increasing awareness of the solution strategies that are available.
  • New accessibility approaches to capitalize on next-next-generation ICT, identified in collaboration with researchers, product developers, and key stakeholders.
  • Increased commercial availability and practice of access solutions for ICT, facilitated by:
    • Development, collection, and dissemination of checklists, tools and strategies for use by ICT developers;
    • Collaborative efforts with and technical assistance to ICT developers; and
    • Continued support for consumer groups, policy makers, and standards groups.
