Abstract (sommario):

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 (sommario):

Purpose To determine the prevalence and causes of blindness and visual impairment among adults in Kogi, Nigeria. Methods A Rapid assessment of avoidable blindness (RAAB) protocol was used with additional tools measuring disability and household wealth to measure the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment (VI) and associations with sex, disability, wealth, cataract surgical coverage and its effectiveness. Results Age- and sex-adjusted all-cause prevalence of bilateral blindness was 3.6% (95%CI 3.0–4.2%), prevalence of blindness among people living with additional, non-visual disabilities was 38.3% (95% CI 29.0–48.6%) compared to 1.6% (95%CI 1.2–2.1%; χ2 = 771.9, p<0.001) among people without additional disabilities. Cataract was the principal cause of bilateral blindness (55.3%). Cataract surgical coverage (CSC) at visual acuity (VA) 3/60 was 48.0%, higher among men than women (53.7% vs 40.3%); 12.0% among people with non-visual disabilities; 66.9% among people without non-visual disabilities, being higher among people in the wealthiest two quintiles (41.1%) compared to the lowest three (24.3%). Effective Cataract Surgical Coverage at Visual Acuity 6/60 was 31.0%, higher among males (34.9%) than females (25.5%), low among people with additional, non-visual disabilities (1.9%) compared to people with no additional disabilities (46.2%). Effective CDC was higher among people in the wealthiest two quintiles (411%) compared to the poorest three (24.3%). Good surgical outcome (VA>6/18) was seen in 61 eyes (52.6%) increasing to 71 (61.2%) eyes with best correction. Cost was identified as the main barrier to surgery. Conclusion Findings suggest there exists inequalities in eye care with women, poorer people and people with disabilities having a lower Cataract Surgical Coverage, thereby, underscoring the importance of eye care programs to address these inequalities.

Abstract (sommario):

Accommodating individuals with disabilities in the workplace is a rapidly growing concern. Furthermore, those who are functionally impaired are in a dire need of assistance. In a classroom, the main function of a student is to learn. Learning is facilitated by an instructor's lectures, writings on the board, use of audiovisuals, etc. Generally, it is presumed that students do not have any common functional impairments (visual, auditory, etc.) and, therefore, no special effort is made to accommodate those who may have such impairments. Obviously, the learning of a legally-blind student or one who has impaired hearing, for example, will be compromised if no assistance is provided. Then there are issues such as providing reading materials for the blind (college catalogues, lecture notes, etc., in braille?). What should be done? The purpose of this panel discussion is to, in general, address and discuss the issues involved in educating people with disabilities, particularly those that are not very obvious or visible (ex., wheelchair confinement). How should university campuses resolve this problem in this age of dwindling resources? Sensitive issues, such as “Needs of the many versus the needs of the few?” and “What responsibility do we have to the few that really need such assistance?”, also need to be resolved.

Abstract (sommario):

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 (sommario):

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 (sommario):

Abstract Distance is one of the important things in building a social dimension. It is also influenced by the perception of the five human senses. Lack of function of one of the senses can affect human interaction with other humans and with the surrounding environment in the social area. Entering the social area for people with visual disabilities is not an easy thing. In general, people without visual disabilities can determine the extent of their boundaries with other people, they can determine that because of their ability to see, therefore their social area is even wider. In contrast to people with visual disabilities who must touch and hear the surroundings first. People with visual disabilities cannot know the boundaries with social areas because to be able to recognize them they have to get closer first, sometimes even to pass the normal distance of human boundaries in public areas. The existence of a shared dining room can be used as one of the media in training people with visual disabilities to be more prepared to face social areas, a little development is needed both in design and systems that can solve these problems. Therefore, this paper is made with the hope of opening a little insight into what is needed for further development.

Abstract (sommario):

Naturally, films are created for humans with normal hearing and vision functions. The question is, is it true that people who have visual disabilities are not able to enjoy movies? A Technical Services Unit of Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs located in Cimahi, West Java, named Sentra Abiyoso, has developed an innovative facilities for people with visual impairments, which is called “Bioskop Berbisik”, meaning whispering cinema. At Bioskop Berbisik, the visually impaired audiences will get help from a visual narrators who tell the storyline of the film. The presence of Bioskop Berbisik Sentra Abiyoso Cimahi is a manifestation of the fifth principle of Pancasila, Social Justice for All Indonesian People, as well as a manifestation of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals, UN General Assembly Agreement in 2015). As a model of social services for people with visual impairments, the presence of Bioskop Berbisik is interesting and important to observe and study, to see how the beneficiaries feel the sensations, and how the expected management strategy could continue consistently. To get the answer, the writers conducted research using the social experimental method with students of SLBN-A Citeurep Cimahi as respondents.The conclusion of the study provides an answer that Bioskop Berbisik of Sentra Abiyoso Cimahi provides great benefits for people with visual impairments. On the other hand, the management of Sentra Abiyoso as a social service facility under the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia needs support from various parties to maintain its sustainability and expand its benefits.

Abstract (sommario):

Since 1994, the South African Government has formulated various policies in an attempt to redress the previous political, economic and social imbalances within the country. The majority of the policies have focused on empowering previously disadvantaged groups including people with disabilities. Despite the interventions, literature reviewed reflects that there is very little progress made with regard to empowerment of people with disabilities in the employment sector. The study seeks to explore and identify factors that affect people with visual disabilities in the employment sector. The researcher used a qualitative approach to investigate the perceptions of people with visual disabilities through conducting focus groups interviews with participants that were recruited using a purposive sampling approach. A total of four groups from Pretoria have been used to draw findings for the research study. During the focus group discussions, a semi structured interview guide was used to generate more in‐depth interpretations from the participants and data was analysed using Tesch’s (1990) framework that is described in Creswell (2003). The findings of the research revealed that people with visual disabilities still have problems in accessing and retaining employment despite the South African favourable legislation. Dominating among the factors that are viewed by the participants to hinder their employability are societal negatives attitudes which include unequal treatment, discrimination when they seek employment, belittling and disregard by employers, coworkers and the society at large. There are also a number of factors that were perceived as barriers to job seekers with visual disabilities which include inaccessible advertising media for vacancies, inaccessible transports systems, inaccessible education and training and lack of funded positions suited for people with visual disabilities.

Abstract (sommario):

Theories on the impact of visual loss tend to generalise and can simplify complex issues. Two extreme views are challenged that portray the impact of visual loss as catastrophic or as a minor inconvenience. The argument is put forward that the impact of visual loss can lessen with improved interaction, and this theory is tested by the author questioning and modifying her own interaction. The following themes are explored: limbo status and self-acceptance; the common stresses experienced when asking for help; and discriminatory attitudes. The research is action based, and the emphasis is on how individuals adjust and adapt to loss, rather than the stresses experienced.

Abstract (sommario):

AbstractPeople with visual impairment have limitations in carrying out socioeconomic activities. The entrepreneurial initiative is an attempt to encourage the active participation of visually impaired people in improving their socioeconomic status. Managing motivation is essential for increasing the self-confidence and potential of people with visual impairments. Storytelling is a method that is considered capable of providing cognitive stimulation to visually impaired persons to generate entrepreneurial motivation. Thus, this study aims to identify the effectiveness of the storytelling method in increasing the entrepreneurial motivation of visually impaired people. This study used a quasi-experimental design by comparing treatment and control groups. Statistical analysis was performed to test the results of the pre- and post-tests. This study was conducted at a social institution in Indonesia for the visually impaired. The results of this study show that direct storytelling is an effective method for increasing entrepreneurial motivation in people with visual impairments. Statistical tests showed a difference between the experimental and control groups after the storytelling intervention, significantly increasing entrepreneurial motivation. This study provides new insights into entrepreneurship by using a storytelling method. This study also presents policy implications for developing empowerment models for persons with disabilities, particularly the entrepreneurial approach for visually impaired people.

Abstract (sommario):

Even though the recent decades have witnessed extensive attempts around the world to ensure the equality of people with disabilities in the health system, it has not been achieved yet. To some extent, the problem is related to the education of health workers to work with people with disabilities. In order to gain more understanding in this regard, this paper focuses on the preparedness of health workers to work with people with hearing, visual, movement and mental disabilities: Is there a link between the studies of the health care workers in higher schools and their preparedness to deal with the specific problems that arise when working with people with hearing, visual, movement and mental disabilities? How does a specific subject / module on working with people with disabilities relate to the preparedness of health workers to address these specific issues? How is it related to the integrated preparation during the study years to work with people with disabilities? A survey of 664 health workers (doctors, nurses, kinesiotherapists, and social workers) working in Lithuania has been conducted. The research revealed that a number of health workers were not properly prepared in higher schools to work with people with hearing, visual, movement and mental disabilities. The research has also revealed that while studying a specific subject / module about working with people with disabilities or studying it in an integrated way across a variety of study activities, health professionals become better prepared to deal with the specific problems of working with people with hearing, visual, movement and mental disabilities. The results of the study suggest the necessity to pay more attention to the particularity of working with people with disabilities in health workers education, so that they are more prepared to work with people with hearing, visual, movement and mental disabilities and ensure more equality and non-discrimination in the healthcare system.

Abstract (sommario):

Persons with various degrees of visual impairment are part of the education system and often pose a pedagogic challenge to educators and teachers. Despite advances in medicine, many children and parents struggle with vision difficulties such as strabismus, large refractive errors, and various congenital defects that cause inadequate visual development and amblyopia. Teachers and educators often lack opportunities to receive training on vision difficulties. The paper is intended for teaching staff in educational institutions and non-teaching staff who work with the visually impaired. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the most common causes of visual impairment and to show the world how children with different visual impairments visually experience it in order to better understand their problems and the way they experience and perceive their environment. How does a healthy child wearing glasses see the world? What does the world look like to a child with strabismus or a child with a severe visual impairment? These are just some of the questions that the paper will answer as a contribution to the development of special competencies in educators and teachers for better inclusion of children with visual impairments in the educational system. In our daily work, we have noticed that visually impaired people and people with strabismus are more likely to encounter certain prejudices regarding their physical appearance. Every prejudice stems from inadequate knowledge of the matter, and we hope that this paper can contribute to an adequate perception of this issue. In conclusion, we believe that it is necessary to establish better cooperation between health and school institutions for the benefit of persons with disabilities, including the visually impaired

Abstract (sommario):

: The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, signed by Romania in 2007, analyses disability as a result of "interaction between people with disabilities and attitudes and environmental barriers that prevent their full and effective participation in society" (Preamble). In the same context, there is talk of "reasonable accommodation", those necessary changes to be made, specific to each type and degree of deficiency, to allow the exercise of rights and freedoms on an equal footing for all citizens. To facilitate access to information for people with visual impairments, a series of technologies have been developed that allow users to use computing and communication technology like everyone else. Depending on the special needs of people with disabilities, the degree of vision impairment, reasonable adaptive solutions have been developed. Depending on the special needs of people with disabilities, visual impairment, we talk about hardware assistive technologies (display, braille keyboard, printers, magnifiers, etc.) and software (voice recognition, speech synthesis, screen reader, etc.). In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of visually impaired people attending a faculty. This determines the necessity of adapting access to information in the educational institutions and for those with visual deficiencies in courses, seminars, at the library, etc. A study at the University of Bucharest, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, reveals students' knowledge of assistive technologies for visually impaired people, the existence and use of faculty, specific needs to access information. The results of the study focus on the direction of changing the academic environment to make access to information available to students with visual impairments.

Abstract (sommario):

This report summarises findings from an evidence and gap map (EGM) commissioned by the Department for International Development (DFID) and undertaken by the Campbell Collaboration (Campbell) and the International Centre for Evidence and Disability (ICED). An EGM is a table which offers a visual presentation of the available evidence for a particular sector. The map provides an overview of what studies are available, but it does not summarise the findings. In the disability map the rows are intervention categories and the columns are indicator (outcome) domains. The framework for the EGM – interventions and outcomes – are based on the components of WHO’s Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) matrix (Figure 1) (WHO, 2010). Both interventions and outcomes use the same set of headings, that is: health, education, livelihood, social and empowerment.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper describes and discusses a piece of inclusive and participatory fieldwork carried out at two sites in Bangladesh in close collaboration with local and international NGOs working on disability as part of the UK government (FCDO) funded Disability Inclusive Development (DID) programme. Our research fieldwork engaged two small groups of learners with specific identities (deafblind or young women) in workshops aiming to gather examples of and understand their experiences as young people with disabilities, both in general terms and about a work-focussed programme. Creative, visual and arts based multi-modal methods were used to encourage maximum participation, including from those with little or no spoken language or literacy. Some were accompanied by carers or supporters who also shared their perspectives. Local staff teams from collaborating INGOs and Organisations of People with Disabilities (OPDs) supported, participated in and learnt from the process. Detail about the workshop activities and data from the participants are presented and discussed. Recommendations from the participants and reflections on the methodological aspects are provided. We concluded that using inclusive, participatory and creative research methods generates rich insights into people’s experiences, which can increase understandings about marginalised people’s lives and inform future interventions to promote their inclusion.

Abstract (sommario):

El presente informe expone los principales resultados obtenidos en el marco del proyecto Internet access for people with visual disabilities: Skills and market needs, llevado adelante por el grupo de investigación Internet of People (IoP) del Departamento de Comunicación de la Universidad Católica del Uruguay. Este proyecto buscó hacer foco en uno de los ejes menos frecuentes en la literatura sobre desigualdades digitales: las discapacidades sensoriales, particularmente la visual. Las tecnologías digitales tienen gran potencial para generar un impacto positivo en la vida de las personas ciegas y con baja visión, pero la falta de accesibilidad a estas tecnologías y al contenido que ellas transmiten puede provocar, por lo contrario, serias barreras. Los objetivos específicos del estudio estuvieron orientados, por un lado, a medir y sistematizar cuáles son los intereses y las barreras que encuentran las personas con discapacidad visual cuando deciden usar Internet. En este sentido, se indagó qué quieren las personas con ceguera y baja visión cuando usan Internet, qué tipo de contenidos buscan y cuáles son las motivaciones detrás del uso de Internet en su vida cotidiana. Por otro lado, y asumiendo inicialmente que el acceso a Internet puede ser una restricción para esta población, el proyecto buscó indagar en cómo acceden a esta tecnología las personas con discapacidad visual y qué herramientas asistivas median —o no median— este acceso. El proyecto fue llevado adelante entre marzo de 2017 y marzo de 2020, con el financiamiento del Carolan Research Institute. Contó con la participación de un equipo multidisciplinario integrado por personas con y sin discapacidad sensorial. A través de un abordaje metodológico cuantitativo y cualitativo, la investigación buscó contribuir a problematizar el acceso a la tecnología por parte de las personas con discapacidad, sus principales motivaciones, intereses y barreras.

Abstract (sommario):

This POSTnote looks at specialist data skills in the UK, including for artificial intelligence. It considers demand and supply, workforce demographics, challenges, and initiatives to increase supply. Key points: • Collecting and analysing data offers potential economic and social benefits. Analysis by the McKinsey Global Institute estimated that, by 2030, UK GDP could increase by up to 22% as a result of AI. • Potential societal benefits could range from climate change mitigation, to improving early detection and diagnosis of cancers by using AI to identify patterns from imaging (MRI) scans that are not readily detected by humans. • Evidence suggests that the availability of people with specialist data skills in the UK is not sufficient to meet demand. • A 2021 study estimated that the supply of data scientists from UK universities was unlikely to exceed 10,000 per year, yet there were potentially at least 178,000 data specialist roles vacant in the UK. • Research finds that certain groups (such as women, those from minority ethnic backgrounds and people with disabilities) are underrepresented in the data workforce. A lack of workforce diversity has the potential to amplify existing inequalities and prejudices. • Initiatives to increase the number of people with data skills include degree conversion courses, doctoral training centres for PhD students, online up-skilling platforms, apprenticeships, and visas to attract international talent. • Efforts to reduce the skills gap can be hindered by the inconsistent definition of data skills, organisational culture, the availability of specialist primary and secondary school teachers, and barriers to people moving between sectors. • A 2022 inquiry by the Lords Science and Technology Committee concluded that a mismatch exists between the scale of the UK’s STEM skills gap and the solutions proposed by the UK Government, “especially given the UK’s ambition to be a science and technology superpower”. It described the Government’s policies as “inadequate and piecemeal”.

Freedom of Religious Belief and People with Disabilities: A Case Study of People with Disabilities from Religious Minorities in Chennai, India.

Abstract (sommario):

India has a unique and complex religious history, with faith and spirituality playing an important role in everyday life. Hinduism is the majority religion, and there are many minority religions. India also has a complicated class system and entrenched gender structures. Disability is another important identity. Many of these factors determine people’s experiences of social inclusion or exclusion. This paper explores how these intersecting identities influence the experience of inequality and marginalisation, with a particular focus on people with disabilities from minority religious backgrounds. A participatory qualitative methodology was employed in Chennai, to gather case studies that describe in-depth experiences of participants. Our findings show that many factors that make up a person’s identity intersect in India and impact how someone is included or excluded by society, with religious minority affiliation, caste, disability status, and gender all having the potential to add layers of marginalisation. These various identity factors, and how individuals and society react to them, impact on how people experience their social existence. Identity factors that form the basis for discrimination can be either visible or invisible, and discrimination may be explicit or implicit. Despite various legal and human rights frameworks at the national and international level that aim to prevent marginalisation, discrimination based on these factors is still prevalent in India. While some tokenistic interventions and schemes are in place to overcome marginalisation, such initiatives often only focus on one factor of identity, rather than considering intersecting factors. People with disabilities continue to experience exclusion in all aspects of their lives. Discrimination can exist both between, as well as within, religious communities, and is particularly prevalent in formal environments. Caste-based exclusion continues to be a major problem in India. The current socioeconomic environment and political climate can be seen to perpetuate marginalisation based on these factors. However, when people are included in society, regardless of belonging to a religious minority, having a disability, or being a certain caste, the impact on their life can be very positive.
