“…If we look at the work presented at ASSETS over the years [1,3,8], the majority of technical contributions still rely on relatively rigid categories of impairments or user groups (e.g. "older adults" or "hearing impairments") and empirical research rarely includes users with more than one impairment.…”

Historically, the accessibility community has focused on designing assistive technologies and systems related to single categories of impairments. While this approach is justifable and contributes to the advancement of the feld, many researchers argue that designing technologies for one impairment at a time contributes to an oversimplifcation of disability and does not refect real-world experiences of a signifcant number of users who live with multiple impairments. How can the accessibility feld leverage theories and concepts from other disciplines (e.g. disability studies, medical humanities, social work, engineering, education) to support more appropriate and inclusive technologies for users with complex needs? How can future assistive technologies take into consideration a diverse combination of sensory, cognitive, and physical characteristics? In this workshop, we invite researchers and practitioners from diferent disciplines to share their perspectives related to challenges and opportunities in designing accessible systems that consider the multidimensional and often complex needs of users living with multiple impairments.
