A focus aid for people with ADHD read digital content or a typeface that was developed to help those with dyslexia read better. An augmented reality app for people with Parkinson’s that provides easy and accessible help with movement. A body movement-recognition system that enables amputees and people with disabilities to use gesture-controlled smart devices more effectively. These areas focus on disability inclusion and diversity, a very broad move to ensure equality for this group of people. The place where you feel that diversity, equality and inclusion within tech could be most improved is the policy making sector and technology learning Why are you interested in exploring this. Because people with disabilities have been socially isolated in many countries with many thinking that they're incapable of Changing the World.
We all have the power to create change, whether that be through innovation and creation or simply opening up a conversation.Your experience and perspective has value. Sharing narratives and storytelling are great ways to build bridges to bring people together, and tech can be a great tool to facilitate that.It is equally important to listen to other people’s needs and to design WITH people, not for them. Think critically about the impact you want to make, do your research and examine your relationship with the problem and community affected by it.
