“…However, examples of successfully designed systems that accommodate the complex needs of users living with multiple impairments are limited in the accessibility community. Diferent interaction modalities, such as gaze [4], audio-visual [25,27], haptics [13,15,24], or multisensory approaches [2,30], are not always easily adaptable to the multilayered needs of users who may experience challenges in compensating one ability with another. A multidisciplinary approach to this problem could help the accessibility research community address the challenges involved in designing accessible systems that take into consideration a diversity of users living with complex accessibility needs.…”

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.
