Assistive Technologies and Inclusive Solutions for All

Project description


Assistive technologies and accessibility portal

Disability as a human rights issue and matter of law was confirmed in the UNCRPD adopted by the General Assembly at its sixty-first session in December 2006. The Convention is the first human rights treaty that the EC as a whole has ratified. It aims to ensure that people with disabilities enjoy human rights on an equal basis with other people.People with special needs in Europe continue to be confronted with a number of barriers to usage of everyday ICT products and services. Inclusive ICT and Assistive Technologies (ATs) are essential for enabling full participation in society for many people, notably people with disabilities and elderly people. These technologies allow people to participate more fully in the knowledge society by mitigating barriers many face in their daily life environments.ATIS4all proposes an innovative approach without discarding the achievements of the traditional methods. It is based on three cornerstones:- Usage of Web 2.0 technologies and user participation. Participation of relevant actors of the AT ICT field in vertical social networks enriches contents and fosters market dynamism,- Redefinition of the target market. The potential beneficiaries of ATs and accessibility devices and services are not only people with strictly defined disabilities.- Focus on open software and cutting-edge technological trends. Assistive Technologies and Inclusive Solutions as solutions for anyone, at any time and anywhere.Supported by the cornerstones mentioned above, ATIS4all will facilitate everyone's access to the most suitable AT or accessibility device and service according to their needs and preferences and contextual characteristics (e.g. ICT solution, environment constraints, user device, language, etc.) by means of an open, collaborative portal offering reliable information on AT products, inclusive solutions and R&D initiatives in this field and fostering online discussion, exchange of knowledge and expertise, and sharing of information among key actors and end users.
