The Message
• People with disabilities can do almost anything in almost any scientific field.
• People with disabilities are often highly motivated to pursue careers in accessibility research.

• Empowerment

Models of Disability
• Medical Model– Disabled people are patients who need treatment and/or cure.
• Education Model– Disabled youth need special education.
• Rehabilitation Model– Disabled people need assistive technology for employment and
everyday life.
• Legal Model– Disabled people are citizens who have rights and responsibilities
like other citizens. Accessibility to public buildings and spaces, voting, television, and telephone are some of those rights.
• Social Model– Disabled people are part of the diversity of life, not necessarily in
need of treatment and cure. They do need access when possible.
11
Technology
• Prosthesis– Augmentation to restore lost function. Call it a “cure.”
• Assistive technology– Popular in rehabilitation literature. Emphasis on the
need for assistance.• Access technology
– Allows an activity that would be difficult to impossible to achieve without it. Emphasis not on restoring function, but on achieving an end goal by whatever means possible.
– Examples: Screen readers, video phones, wheel chairs

Design Concepts in HCI
• User Centered Design– Involve the user at every step
• Universal Design– Design for all users, if possible
• Design for User Empowerment– Design to enable people to solve their own
accessibility problems, if possible
29
Accessibility vs. Usability
• Accessibility– Tool that make it possible to do a task
• Usability– Tool that make is possible to do a task– Relatively easy to learn– Relative fast to use
• Example – Audio Captchas
30
Accessibility vs. Empowerment
• Accessibility– Tool that make it possible to do a task
• Empowerment– Tool that makes it possible to do a task– Tool created by or configured by the person
with the disability
• Examples– Variable speed speech in screen readers– Variable size large print in text enlargers
31
The Future of Empowerment
• Cell phones become an accessibility tools– Users download accessibility applications
• Social Accessibility– Mobile users get advice remotely on-demand
when needed
• Persons with disabilities, with a superior education, control their own accessibility needs
