Abstract:

The main objective of this study was to examine people’s attitudes towards the integration of young people with disabilities in the army. Another objective was to examine the direct and indirect relationship between attitudes towards empathic ability and early acquaintance with a soldier with a disability. The sample included 649 participants, mean age = 27.64 (SD = 11.18). Attitudes were measured using three subscales: (1) the importance and contribution of integration, (2) labeling perception, and (3) the right to equality. Empathic ability was measured with a distinction between the cognitive and emotional aspects. The findings showed that most of the participants supported the integration of young people with disabilities in the army and reported more positive attitudes towards the integration of young people with physical disabilities than towards people with mental and cognitive disabilities. Empathic ability was found to make a direct and indirect positive contribution to attitudes through early acquaintance with soldiers with disabilities. The theoretical and applied implications of the present study are discussed.

Abstract:

Active tourism improves human health and well-being regardless of age or disabilities. The paper analyses and describes current issues concerning the tourism of people with disabilities. The starting point is the currently insufficient availability of tourist offers for individuals with considerable motor dysfunctions. One of the causes for these limitations stems from deficiencies in transport means for people with disabilities. It was found that for a disabled passenger using public transport, it is crucial to consider its accessibility in the context of the entire transport system. Another cause is the limited popularity of innovative, atypical assistive equipment for people with disabilities. Those insights point out that novel assistive technologies need to be developed, as it is necessary to more effectively support the activity of people with disabilities in all areas of life, including tourism, as this enhances their social rehabilitation. This paper indicates the needs and describes and analyses examples of own original, innovative devices supporting the areas mentioned above of activity for people with disabilities. These analyses resulted in developing an algorithm to design innovative equipment, considerably expanding the tourism potential of people with motor disabilities. This design process focuses on the needs of people with disabilities and facilitates the development of novel classes of assistive technologies, thus promoting new areas of activity for all.

Abstract:

The Technology-Related Assistance Act for Individuals with Disabilities Act of 1988 states that for some individuals with disabilities, assistive technology is a necessity that enables them to engage in or perform many tasks. An important contribution computers have made to enhancing the lives of individuals who have visual impairments is that they have made printed text accessible to these individuals. Specific computer-related technologies for persons with visual impairments and blindness are presented, including speech synthesis, Braille output devices, optical character recognition, and magnification.

Abstract:

This study examined state education technology plans and technology accessibility statutes to attempt to answer the question—is K–12 instructional technology accessibility discussed in state-level technology accessibility statutes and education technology plans across the 50 United States? When a K–12 school district is planning the construction or acquisition of a new digital technology, are the legal requirements for making that digital environment accessible to people with disabilities part of the decision process? Just like built environments, digital environments can either be accessible or inaccessible to people with disabilities; the digital environment can either support or impede the inclusion of people with disabilities. At the federal level, statutes, regulations, and policy guidance make it clear that technology must be accessible to students with disabilities in K–12 schools. The message from the federal government is consistent. But what messages are state governments communicating, through statutes and policies, to K–12 educators about technology accessibility?

Abstract:

Access to assistive technology (AT) is key to inclusion for people with disabilities in society and its development. Over 2.5 billion people need one or more of these devices globally, but about 1 billion do not have access. Access to these products is even more challenging for people with disabilities. This article reviews national data and government initiatives to understand the present situation of access to assistive technologies and the challenges faced by people with visual impairment in acquiring them. Further, the article discusses the key policy recommendations to enhance access to AT.

Abstract:

This article is related to a desk study on the impact of COVID-19 on the lives of people with disabilities and the use of assistive technology together with the impact of assistive technology use by people with disabilities during the pandemic in Nepal. Along with the impact on the global economy, food security, and mental health, COVID-19 has devastating effects on the healthcare systems, shifting resources from disease treatments to the management of COVID-19. In such crises, marginalized groups such as people with disabilities are often neglected. An intensive literature search was performed in PubMed and Google Scholar with a thorough search of all possible government and non-government reports on the research interests. The situation was found to be devastating in a low-income country like Nepal where the majority of the people with disabilities were not provided with government social protection assistance. People with disabilities experienced an increased level of anxiety and depression because of the pandemic and lockdowns in the country. Many people with disabilities heavily depend on assistive technology to perform their daily activities but due to the pandemic delivery of assistive technology services has reduced drastically. A disability-inclusive response is recommended to empower people with disabilities to handle their lives in difficult circumstances, and increase access to health care, and assistive technology use.

Abstract:

People with intellectual disabilities might experience difficulties in recognizing emotions, problems in understanding the causes and consequences of emotions, and problems with self-control, inhibition, and emotional regulation. Emotional regulation represents a significant hallmark of cognitive development and an important achievement associated with social, behavioral, and academic competence; therefore, people with intellectual disabilities need to learn how to regulate their emotions appropriately. An approach to support the emotional regulation interventions of this population is interactive technology such as video games, interactive floors, and virtual reality. The literature includes some works on the design, development, and evaluation of technology for emotional regulation for populations that share some characteristics with people with intellectual disabilities, such as ASD and ADHD; however, the design of this technology does not consider some characteristics of people with intellectual disabilities. In this research, we propose to develop a model based on a set of technologies to support therapeutic interventions of emotional regulation of people with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract:

As technology is advancing, accessibility is also taken care of seriously. Many users with visual disabilities take advantage of, for example, Microsoft's Seeing AI application (app) that is equipped with artificial intelligence. The app helps people with visual disabilities to recognize objects, people, texts, and many more via a smartphone's built-in camera. As users may use the app in recognizing personally identifiable information, user privacy should carefully be treated and considered as a top priority. Yet, little is known about the user privacy issues among users with visual disabilities, such that this study aims to address the knowledge gap by conducting a questionnaire with the Seeing AI users with visual disabilities. This study found that those with visual disabilities had a lack of knowledge about user privacy policies. It is recommended to offer an adequate educational training; thus, those with visual disabilities can be well informed of user privacy policies, ultimately leading to promoting safe online behavior to protect themselves from digital privacy and security problems.

Abstract:

The problem of accessibility to information and technology for people with disabilities in Indonesia is one of the state's responsibilities that must be implemented comprehensively. This study aims to determine the state's responsibility in fulfilling disability rights to information and telecommunications in Indonesia and aims to construct the ideal form of fulfillment of disability rights to information and telecommunications through assistive technology models. The research uses a normative-empirical method with a conceptual approach, a statutory approach, and a case approach. The results of the study show: First, the state's responsibility for protecting the rights of persons with disabilities to information and technology has been regulated in Article 28 F of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and in Law Number 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities as many as 13 (thirteen) articles. The regulation contains 8 (eight) substances for regulating the right to information for persons with disabilities. The implementation of these provisions has not run optimally because there are still services that are not friendly to persons with disabilities. Second, efforts to encourage the formation of assistive technology for people with disabilities in the country by referring to the needs of people with disabilities in Indonesia. This can be done by establishing two types of assistive technology for persons with disabilities of school age and above school age by adjusting features and services that are friendly to disabilities.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Purpose: To analyze Web Based Recruitment for people with disabilities. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: Few studies in the world have looked at the usability and accessibility of job recruitment websites for people with disabilities: none of which reviewed Web ads. In Brazil, no e-Recruitment for people with disabilities was found. Key methodological aspects: This is a descriptive and qualitative study. The author sought to analyze ads available on websites exclusively aimed at the recruitment of persons with disabilities. The categories of analysis were: the content of the ads, and their accessibility and usability of them. The analysis was done by means of automatic validation testing of the accessibility using a tool (Hera). Summary of key results: All the sites have errors that hinder the accessibility and usability of the page. The large number of registered CVs and job vacancies available on the websites indicate that online recruitment is reaching the goal of attracting candidates and companies. Regarding the content, there are particular issues related to this specific audience, besides the ones regarding each and every job, such as the availability of accessibility in the company, devices allowed by the contractor, using filters for the candidate's disability and special needs required by the company. Key considerations/conclusions: Companies which specialize in this type of recruitment need to be familiar with the Web experiences of people with various types of disabilities seeking employment. Although the ads put forth various forms of information relating to the jobs, there is clear evidence that they are not prepared to receive disabled workers. Also, they need better guidance with respect to the elimination of discriminatory practices.

Abstract:

Abstract Advancements of technologies in the areas of mobility, hearing and vision, communication, and daily living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities has the potential to greatly enhance independence and self-determination. Previous research, however, suggests that there is a technological divide with regard to the use of such technologies by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities when compared with the use reported by the general public. To provide current information with regard to technology use by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities by examining the technology needs, use, and barriers to such use experienced by 180 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, we used QuestNet, a self-directed computer survey program. Results suggest that although there has been progress in technology acquisition and use by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, an underutilization of technologies across the population remains.

Abstract:

Today, the population uses technology for every daily activity involving business, education, communication, entertainment, etc. Technology may also help us to take care of people who suffer some kind of disability. Complex technological ecosystems with pervasive and intelligent capabilities get along with us, facilitating the vigilance of those who need special attention or assisted living cares due to their health limitations. The advances in sensor research have enriched the powerful of these ecosystems to achieve more sophisticated monitoring and alarm systems, also taking into account the balance between the level of assistance and the people’s privacy. The Special Issue on “Sensor Technologies for Caring People with Disabilities” aims to present recent developments on sensor technologies for caring people with disabilities, focusing on the different configurations that can be used and novel applications in the field.

Abstract:

Currently, the trend of internet use continues to increase, including in Indonesia. The internet is believed to be able to support community empowerment and improve welfare. For this reason, digital technology is required to be able to reflect the needs of all levels of society, including people with disabilities. This is a great opportunity for people with disabilities to benefit from digital information, products and services to live more independent lives. This article discusses how digital technology, especially the internet, is used by people with disabilities, including the obstacles that accompany it. This research uses a literature review method by collecting data through observation and literature study. The research results show that there is a digital gap between people with disabilities and non-disabled people in Indonesia. The main obstacles in creating an inclusive digital space are awareness, motivation, access to ownership, access to use, access to affordability of digital technology, digital skills, adaptive technology, certainty of digital protection & security as well as policy and regulatory support. However, efforts were also found to implement good digital inclusion practices by reducing the digital divide through policy support, infrastructure improvements, empowerment activities and increasing public awareness.Keywords: people with disabilities; digital inclusion; digital divide; digital technology

Abstract:

The existence of persons with disabilities in society is one of the important things to be considered by the state, or in this case the government, because persons with disabilities are part of the community who also have the same position, rights, obligations and roles. According to Law Number 8 of 2016 Article 1 paragraph 1, people with disabilities are defined as any person with physical, intellectual, mental, and/or sensory limitations in the long term who in interacting with the environment can experience obstacles. and difficulties to participate fully and effectively with other citizens on the basis of equal rights. However, the need for special treatment given to persons with disabilities is usually misunderstood by the general public which ultimately leads to acts of discrimination against groups of people with disabilities. Seeing the inequality in policies regarding people with disabilities in DI Yogyakarta, the CIQAL Foundation (Center for Improving Qualified Activity in Life of People with Disabilities) pays attention to fighting for the rights of people with disabilities by encouraging changes to laws and regulations in DI Yogyakarta. This research is a qualitative research with a literature study that uses books and other literatures as the main object (Hadi, 1995). The results of this study were two programs provided by the CIQAL Foundation for persons with disabilities in DI Yogyakarta, namely advocacy and empowerment programs.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the development of a high-tech garment using IoT technology for people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. In particular, the results of creating a prototype of a heat-protective product with the function of monitoring physiological indicators of the organism of a person with disabilities are presented. The aim of the work was to develop and scientifically substantiate a system for monitoring physiological parameters of a person with a disability used in a heat-protective product adapted for being in a wheelchair. The relevance of the research is due to the high demand for specialized clothing with a heat-shielding function for people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with the ability to track physiological parameters of the body. In the course of solving the problem, an analysis of scientific papers on this topic was carried out. Modern methods of developing algorithms for fuzzy logic, circuit design, modeling and mathematical statistics have been used. In the process of doing the work, a justification for the use of IoT technology in integration with the garment product is given. The software for the smartphone has been developed to monitor physiological parameters of a human body with disabilities. The scientific development was tested in laboratory conditions, which, in turn, confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed idea. The results obtained in the course of the conducted research can be used in everyday life by people with disabilities, thereby improving their quality of life.

Abstract:

The transfer of immersive technologies will soon be able to transform human life, allowing the implementation of H2M interactions to the fullest and with a new quality. People will be able to protect themselves from hazardous industries, learn faster, provide medical services to highly qualified specialists in the shortest possible time, and much more. The technology provides a paradigm shift towards wireless technology for real-time remote control. At the same time, the introduction of the Tactile Internet concept requires a revision of the principles for building existing and future communication networks. The article describes an experiment in the implementation of immersive technologies in fifth generation communication networks. In the article, a microservice application was created that simulates the movement of a human hand in space, which allows displaying sign language. Ways to reduce delays are also analyzed.

Abstract:

The features of developing mobile applications for users with intellectual disabilities are examined. A technology for developing mobile applications is proposed, utilizing a template multi-module architecture that allows for the selection of ready-made functional solutions from a module repository. A method for developing an adaptable mobile applica-tion interface is described, including the creation of screen templates with interface elements, categorizing template elements into mandatory and optional, and matching each element with sets of possible images. A web system is out-lined that supports the stages of creating and operating mobile applications with an adaptable interface. Examples of developed mobile applications demonstrate their effectiveness for users with intellectual disabilities. A method is pro-posed for adapting the mobile application interface using a configuration panel, which supports the life cycle of mobile applications for this user category. An ontology was selected as a formal model for representing knowledge, enabling the extraction of knowledge for developing mobile applications with an adaptable interface and applying it to create applications accessible to people with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract:

• We asked people with learning disabilities what was good and bad about using video-calls to receive support during Covid-19 pandemic. We also asked the Learning Disabilities team what can be difficult about using video calls.• We found that many things make it hard for people with learning disabilities to use video calls. Some people are unable to video-calls and need face-to-face support.• Some people with learning disabilities can use video calls if they have right support. We need to help people with learning disabilities to have equal access to technology and help them to use video calls if they would like to use them.

Abstract:

Abstract A growing number of new smart, internet-enabled technologies from smart phone applications, to teleconferencing, to the Internet of Things (IoT), provide great promise and potential to support successful aging-in-place for people with long-term disabilities. This symposium highlights ongoing research at the TechSAge Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center to identify technology needs and develop/adapt new technologies to promote independence, health, and participation of this population. To understand user needs, Harris et al. will present findings from a large-scale interview study with older adults with long-term vision and mobility disabilities (N=120) that explored specific task-based challenges with community activities (e.g., going to entertainment events, volunteering) as well as solutions and strategies to overcome them. Koon et al. will present findings on perceived facilitators and barriers to using digital assistants (e.g., Amazon Alexa) to facilitate a variety of everyday tasks at home, from shopping to communicating with others, among adults aging with mobility disabilities. Levy et al. will discuss findings from research driving the creation of augmented reality tools that can enable individuals to experience how IoT devices, such as smart thermostats and lightbulbs, could be used within the context of one’s own abilities and home. Mitzner et al., will describe the development of a Tele Tai Chi intervention for older adults with long-term mobility disabilities that employs teleconferencing software to translate an in-person, evidence-based class to an online, social experience. TechSAge Program Officer, Sarah Ruiz (National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research), will serve as the discussant.

Abstract:

A recent study from the University of Technology Sydney demonstrates that many individuals with disabilities feel isolated and excluded from eating out. The first‐of‐its‐kind study systematically reviewed research on the “experiences of people with disability eating out in cafés, restaurants, and other setting.” In total, the authors reviewed 36 studies, with most studies focusing on individuals with physical or sensory disabilities eating out and a handful of studies examining the experiences of individuals with intellectual disabilities, swallowing disabilities, or communication with disabilities. The authors noted the limited amount of available research on the needs of peoples with disabilities in relation to eating out and called for further research to help guide policy and practice for including individuals with disabilities in dining‐out activities, especially research on the “need for mealtime assistance or texture‐modified foods, and the dining out experiences of people with swallowing disability.”

Abstract:

Abstract Individuals aging with long-term disabilities are likely to require support for managing challenges with everyday activities. To effectively promote independence and aging-in-place for this population, we must consider innovative technology solutions that go beyond traditional direct care services. This symposium will highlight technology research and development efforts from the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Technologies to Support Aging-in-Place for People with Long-Term Disabilities (RERC TechSAge). TechSAge is an interdisciplinary collaboration between Georgia Tech, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and Georgia State University, dedicated to understanding the needs of, and developing supportive technologies for people aging with long-term vision, hearing, and mobility disabilities. First, Remillard et al., will present interview findings from individuals aging with long-term vision loss on challenges performing instrumental activities of daily living. Next, Mitzner et al., will describe TechSAge research-driven guidelines for designing and delivering wellness classes via video-conferencing to older adults with and without disabilities. Blocker et al., will highlight a field trial evaluating how digital home assistants (e.g., Amazon Echo devices) and smart home devices, along with user-friendly support guides, can support older adults with mobility disabilities at home. Finally, Jones et al., will describe the latest feature of the SmartBathroom laboratory – a SmartBathing Transfer Testbed prototype that will enable us to study of how different bathing environment configurations can impact transfer performance. Margaret Campbell (Retired Senior Scientist for Planning and Policy Support, National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research) will serve as the discussant for the symposium.
