Advances in Design for Inclusion
Author: Giuseppe Di BucchianicoPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319419625
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 615
Book Description
This book focuses on a range of topics in design, such as universal design, design for all, digital inclusion, universal usability, and accessibility of technologies independently of people’s age, economic situation, education, geographic location, culture and language. It especially focuses on accessibility for people with auditory, cognitive, neurological, and visual impairments, ageing populations, and mobility for physical special needs. The book explores some of the overlaps between inclusive design and web accessibility to help managers, designers, developers, policy makers, and researchers optimize their efforts in these overlapping areas. Based on the AHFE 2016 International Conference on Design for Inclusion, held on July 27-31, 2016, in Walt Disney World®, Florida, USA, this book discusses new design technologies, highlighting various requirements of individuals within a community. Thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, the book represents a useful resource for readers with different kinds of backgrounds and provides them with a timely, practice-oriented guide to design for inclusion.

Technology and Aging
Author: A. MihailidisPublisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 1607502941
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
This publication presents articles on Aging-in-Place, Assistive Technology, Monitoring and Telehealth, Transportation and Mobility, and Design. The section on assistive technology (AT) represents arguably the most mature and generic aspect of technology and aging; except that AT can hardly be regarded really as a specific discipline any longer. Assistive devices and systems command an expansive gamut of technological and engineering specialties, drawing upon mechanical engineering and industrial design at one end of the field and cybernetic systems engineering and brain-computer user interfaces at the other. The largest section in the book, on monitoring and telehealth, reveals novel applications of advanced pattern recognition techniques, some of which have, up to now, found roles primarily in the military, process engineering, and financial sectors. Transportation and mobility still represents by far the largest and most commercially lucrative market segment of technology for seniors. There is however a clear trend towards synthesis of information and communication technologies (ICT) and mobility technologies, which is embodied in the latest developments of automatic collision avoidance and full or semi-autonomous navigation functions in powered mobility devices. The last section is dedicated to design issues. It is proposed that designing for the special needs market before making a design as inclusive as possible to the mainstream market is a viable alternative to the currently accepted notion of inclusive design, provided that aesthetics are appropriately addressed. To conclude, we see a social shift from institutional to home-based care, in which information communication technology based solutions now afford the possibility of aging-in-place for the many thousands of people having mild to moderate cognitive impairment.
Challenges to the Human Rights of People with Intellectual Disabilities
Author: Frances OwenPublisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers
ISBN: 1846428866
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
A book such as this both demonstrates the progress that has been made over recent years, and will also serve to enhance respect for the human rights of persons with intellectual disabilities in the years to come.' - From the Foreword by Orville Endicott This wide-ranging volume provides a multidisciplinary examination of human rights and the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. The book combines historical, psychological, philosophical, social, educational, medical and legal perspectives to form a unique and insightful account of the subject. Initial chapters explain the historical context of rights for people with intellectual disabilities, including the right to life, and propose a conceptual framework to inform contemporary practice. Contributors then explore the many theoretical and practical challenges that people with intellectual disabilities face, in exercising their civil rights, educational rights or participatory rights, for instance. The implications arising from these issues are identified and practical guidelines for support and accommodation are provided. This book will be an essential resource for practitioners, advocates, lawyers, policy-makers and students on disability courses.

Book Description
This book focuses on ambient intelligence and addresses various issues related to data management, networking and HCI in this context. Taking a holistic view, it covers various levels of abstraction, ranging from fundamental to advanced concepts and brings together the contributions of various specialists in the field. Moreover, the book covers the key areas of computer science concerned with the emergence of ambient intelligence (e.g. interaction, middleware, networks, information systems, etc.). It even goes slightly beyond the borders of computer science with contributions related to smart materials and ethics. The authors cover a broad spectrum, with some chapters dedicated to the presentation of basic concepts and others focusing on emerging applications in various fields such as health, transport and tourism.
Resilience, regulation and quality of life
Author: Nathalie Nader-GrosboisPublisher: Presses univ. de Louvain
ISBN: 2874631671
Category : Psychology
Languages : fr
Pages : 353
Book Description
Introduit par le Dr Boris Cyrulnik, cet ouvrage collectif présente le fruit des travaux de chercheurs internationaux qui ont étudié chez des enfants, adolescents et adultes ayant vécu des situations critiques stressantes, leurs processus de résilience, d’autorégulation, de régulation émotionnelle ; ou encore leur qualité de vie. Quelle que soit la période de vie, les situations critiques abordées sont variées : le vécu d’un handicap ou d’un trouble de développement, l’atteinte d’une maladie chronique, le deuil, la maltraitance, les crises de couples ou de familles, la gestion de sa scolarité ou de ses apprentissages, l’adoption, etc. Divers paradigmes conceptuels ouvrent des portes d’interprétation de ces processus, ainsi qu’ils apportent une lecture dynamique des facteurs de risque et de protection en fonction des personnes et de leur environnement. À travers ces travaux, se dégagent des pistes méthodologiques pour l’observation et l’évaluation de la résilience, de la régulation émotionnelle, de l’autorégulation et de la qualité de vie auprès de personnes typiques et atypiques. Plusieurs contributions offrent également des cadres de références de programmes d’intervention ou de psychothérapie, favorables à la résilience et aux autres processus examinés. Contient des textes en français ou en anglais.
