Da una presentazione al Convegno

Temi trattati oggi

Che cosa accade nei mondi della

tecnologia e della Tecnologia Assitiva,

specialmente nel settore high tech

Quali sono i dibattiti aperti nel settore

TA

Come queste innovazioni influiscono

sulla vita delle persone con disabilità

1

Principi di base- 1

Disability is not seen as an individual's

intrinsic feature but a result of interaction in

an environment

The interaction of the same person with the

health condition may yield different

functioning level in different environments

Products and Technology

Natural Environment and Human-Made

Changes to Environment

Support and Relationships

Attitudes

Services, Systems and Policies

Learning and Applying Knowledge

General Tasks and Demands

Communication

Mobility

Self Care

Major Life Areas

Community, Social and Civic Life

Principi di base - 2

Assistive Technology (AT) è un termine ombrello cheindica ogni prodotto o servizio basato sulla tecnologiache potenzia persone di ogni età con limitazionidell’attività nella loro vita quotidiana, educazione, lavoroo tempo libero (definition recommended by AAATE)

Una classificazione internazionale dei prodotti che siadatta a questa definizione del concetto di “assistive technology” – the ISO 9999:2011 standard – è attualmente usata dai principali sistemi informativinazionali in Europa

Essa è anche usata dalla rete europea di informazionesulla Assistive Technology (EASTIN, www.eastin.eu)

Principi di base - 3

Il confine fra tecnologie “assistive” e “mainstream” è talvoltapoco chiaro

In generale, la soluzione ai bisogni di un individuo richiede un insieme di tecnologie mainstream, o un insieme di tecnologiemainstream e di prodotti di tecnologia assistiva, il cui assemblaggio e configurazione può essere diverso da un individuoad un altro, e da un contesto ad un altro

Può coinvolgere alcune modificazioni ambientali mirate e ancherichiedere assistenza personale

L’espressione “soluzione assistiva” indica l’intero set di supportiumani e tecnologici di cui un individuo ha bisogno per compensarela sua disabiità e partecipare alla società di tutti su una base dieguaglianza (AAATE Position Paper, 2003)

Principi di base

INCLUSION

Principi di base- 4

(a) Accepting diversities

(b) Assuring active participation

(c) Developing collaborative practices

(d) Giving everyone what they need to

maximize their potential

(e) Building new learning and teaching contexts,

processes and institutions: an inclusive school is

a self-reflective and self-promoting school

UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with

Disabilities, General Principles

Principi di base - 5

(a) Respect for inherent dignity, individual autonomy including the

freedom to make one’s own choices, and independence of

persons

(b) Non-discrimination

(c) Full and effective participation and inclusion in society

(d) Respect for difference and acceptance of persons with

disabilities as part of human diversity and humanity

(e) Equality of opportunity

(f) Accessibility

(g) Equality between men and women

(h) Respect for the evolving capacities of children with

disabilities and respect for the right of children with disabilities

to preserve their identities

«Over the past few years there have been a number of significant changes in

technology. These changes include cloud computing, portability of devices, the social

impact of Web 2.0 technologies, the explosion of apps and an increase in free and

open source (FOSS) technologies. All of this is moving forward at a pace with which it

is hard to keep up. Over the next ten years thought activated/brain-computer

interaction technology and advanced robotics, for example, will become more widely

available and/or affordable.

Users may become the designers and creators of their own AT. At the same time there

has been convergence and overlap between mainstream and assistive technology.

Accessibility features have in some cases become integrated into devices such as

mobile phones and tablets and have become part and parcel of some software

packages and operating systems. Mainstream technologies have become assistive

devices in themselves with significant investment in personally owned devices with dual

purposes. More people who would not otherwise use AT may be benefitting»
