- Abstract
Bringing together perspectives from a wide range of contexts, we present six new papers which reflect examples of critical junctures in disability inclusion or the opportunity to create such turning points in disability inclusion. It is clear from the events of the last 18 months that while technology has a huge potential for transforming the way we live and work, the entire ecosystem - from manufacturing to the supply chain - is vulnerable to the vagaries of that ecosystem, as well as having the potential to exacerbate new and existing inequalities [[1]]. We focus on the medium of assistive technology as technology used by people with disabilities to bridge accessibility and inclusion gaps in mainstream digital and physical environments.
