“…UCD in practice is often an add-on to the R&D process, restricted to initial user requirements studies and final evaluation. Because of a lack of concepts and methods of cooperation with different user groups, UCD is often regarded as an additional burden in R&D projects, despite the proven benefits for usability and accessibility [ 4 , 5 ]. Holistic approaches also facilitating participation of people with disabilities throughout the process, contribution to ideation, planning, decision making and leadership are not considered, as successful examples of UX based design would propose.…”

This session reflects R&D on User Centered Design and Development and User Participation (in short UCD in the following) for/with people with disabilities. Better guidelines, methods, techniques and tools are needed to improve the quality of R&D and practice both in the domain of Assistive Technology (AT), eAccessibility and eInclusion itself but also for improving the quality of mainstream R&D through UCD and participation of people with disabilities. We analyze the state of the art, identify gaps and problems as well as discuss examples and new approaches presented in 5 papers. The introduction integrates the topic into the broader context of UCD in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) playing a major role for AT, eAccessibility and digital inclusion. We underline the need for ongoing and more intense R&D on UCD to improve quality and usability. By promoting this session in the ICCHP conference series we aim at establishing a comprehensive point of access to scientific work in this domain.
