About this title

Synopsis

In the digital age, access to technology has become essential for connecting, learning, working, and thriving. Yet, for millions of individuals with disabilities, barriers in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) still limit their full participation in society. (Disability and Bridging the Digital Divide: ICT Accessibility and Assistive Technology for People of All Abilities) is a groundbreaking resource that delves into the essential issues of digital accessibility and presents innovative, inclusive solutions designed to bridge this gap.

This book covers a broad spectrum of topics that highlight the importance of digital inclusion. Starting with a compelling foreword by renowned accessibility advocate Debra Ruh, each chapter addresses a critical area of everyday life where ICT accessibility can drive progress for people with disabilities. From accessible banking and telework to inclusive tourism and e-learning platforms, " Disability and Bridging the Digital Divide" provides insights and practical solutions for current challenges and emerging opportunities in accessibility.

Readers will explore how advancements in telecare, the Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G technology can reshape our approach to inclusion for people of all abilities.
Chapters on accessible e-learning, employment, and library services bring practical guidance for improving access to essential resources. At the same time, discussions on the arts and culture emphasize the role of ICT in enhancing creativity and community engagement for all.

Whether you’re an accessibility professional, a policy maker, a researcher, or personally invested in disability inclusion, this book offers practical frameworks, inspiring examples, and actionable insights. Disability and Bridging the Digital Divide is a roadmap to creating a more accessible world where technology is a tool for empowerment and equal opportunity for all abilities.
