Increasing independence through access to technology

通用设计原则是在1970年代提出的，以确保残疾人的平等机会。然而，这些原则主要集中在行动问题上，他们缺乏指导方针，以开发计算机访问工具，使规划和运动障碍的个人参与。我打算通过开发一个支持辅助技术设计的框架来填补这一空白，从而实现有效的计算机访问。这将使残疾人更多地参与社会。我的研究将包括一个模型，占人体运动的物理，规划和运动控制方面的发展。我们将进一步开发一种通用设计的算法，改善运动控制障碍患者的点击式计算机访问。

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.
