Assistive Technologies 2: ‘Disability Arts’ and Special User Interfaces
Rispondi
The image of the ideal care setting today is one that nurtures physical, social, and creative activity—incorporating arts such as music, dance, and painting as beneficial agents for sustaining health… We are building care settings that are spacially generous and offer services that motivate activity, companionship, and the will to enjoy.” — Elizabeth Brawley, Design Innovations for Aging and Alzheimer’s.

The 11th International Conference on Computers Helping People with Special Needs
Over the last decades the advancement in Assistive Technologies (AT) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have significantly influenced the life of people with disabilities. According changes in awareness and understanding of disability as well as social and legal frameworks, driven by Disability Rights and Independent Living Movements led to what is known as eAccessibility, Universal Design or eInclusion. The more ICT and AT increases the potential to enable people with disabilities to take part in almost any area of life, the more eInclusion and eAccessibility become a common responsibility of all providing information and/or technology. In 2006 ICCHP summarised this process in the equation “equality = eQuality”. “Equality”, equal access and therefore equal opportunity in society are dependant upon “eQuality”, the quality of systems and services in taking the needs of all possible users into account .
Master universitario di I livello in “Assistive Technology Ausili per l’Utenza Ampliata”
Il Master universitario consentirà di formare/aggiornare professionisti sui temi dell’ingegneria degli ausili per le persone con esigenze speciali (disabili, anziane, …) e prevede l’ammissione di laureati in qualsiasi disciplina. Le finalità del Master universitario sono la sensibilizzazione e la diffusione delle conoscenze sulle tecnologie e sulle innovazioni nel campo degli ausili. Tali conoscenze sono inserite in un contesto interdisciplinare più ampio che include anche temi economici e di sicurezza.
