Disability and Technology

This collection from Disability & Society provides an exploration of the place of technology in disabled people’s lives, documenting and analysing the growing impact of technology on disability and society in recent decades. The authors explore theoretical, empirical and moral dilemmas that arise with the changing relationship between technological change and the lives, aspirations and possibilities of disabled people. They consider early foundational work connecting disability and technology; key empirical studies related to the optimum use of technologies for independence and inclusion; and moral and social dynamics thrown up by technological developments for disabled people’s lives.
