As we reflect on the importance of reaching out to those living with disabilities, it is important to remember that technology can play a vital role in helping everyone participate fully in society.
Often an overlooked population, and ill-served by today’s most dynamic technology is the group of people living with disability. This could have been what informed the theme for this year’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD). The day is observed every December 3rd to raise awareness around the crucial issues faced by those with disabilities.
