The Principles of Universal Design were introduced in the 1970s to ensure equal access for people with impairments. However, these principles focused primarily on mobility issues and they lack guidelines for development of computer access tools to engage individuals with planning and motor disabilities. I intend to fill this gap by developing a framework to support assistive technology design that enables effective computer access. This will allow individuals with disabilities greater participation in society. My research will include development of a model that accounts for physical, planning and motor control aspects of human movement. We will further develop a universally designed algorithm that improves point and click computer access for people with motor control impairment.

通用设计原则是在20世纪70年代引入的，以确保残疾人享有平等的机会。然而，这些原则主要侧重于行动问题，它们缺乏开发计算机访问工具的指导方针，以使有规划和运动障碍的个人参与进来。我打算通过开发一个框架来支持能够有效访问计算机的辅助技术设计来填补这一空白。这将使残疾人能够更多地参与社会。我的研究将包括开发一个模型，该模型考虑到人类运动的物理、规划和运动控制方面。我们将进一步开发一种通用设计的算法，以改善运动控制障碍患者的点击式计算机访问。
