We invite researchers and assistive technologists to share their perspectives related to challenges in designing accessible systems and assistive technologies that consider the multidimensional and often complex needs of users with multiple impairments. Workshop date: 23rd October 2022 (via Zoom) Historically, the accessibility community has focused on designing assistive technologies and systems related to single categories of impairments. While this approach is justifiable and contributes to the advancement of the field, many researchers argue that designing technologies for one impairment at a time contributes to an oversimplification of disability and does not reflect the real-world experiences of a significant number of users who live with multiple impairments. How can the accessibility field leverage theories and concepts from other disciplines (e.g. disability studies, medical humanities, social work, engineering, education) to support more appropriate and inclusive technologies for users with complex needs? How can future assistive technologies consider diverse sensory, cognitive, and physical characteristics? Please note that any prior experience with users with multiple impairments is not a requirement for participating in this workshop.
