  • My name is Jamie Knight, and I am an autistic front end web developer from the UK. In this article I am going to explore how Apple technology fundamentally changes my life, and enriches the lives of others. Disabilities, differences, call them what you will, have for a long time been a great area for technology to help. From the first white canes to the latest assistive and augmentative communication aids, there are a range of needs out there which technology is able to fulfil. For this article I would like to focus on 3 areas: communication, organisation and management. These are the ways in which my autism affects me and where technology helps the most.

shared by Roger Holt on 10 Sep 13 - No Cached
  • At its core, the American educational system is about democratization of knowledge for all students, regardless of their circumstances. In 2011, 22 percent of non-institutionalized adults with disabilities had less than a high school education. If this statistic was applied to the general population, my suspicion is that there would be an outcry to reform K-12 education to have better graduation results. But for students with disabilities, there is no shock or outrage and that is something that has to change. The key to improving the educational experience for students with disabilities is better accommodations in schools and continued improvements in assistive technology.

  • "I was lucky to have been born in the computer age. Without them, my life would have been miserable and my scientific career impossible," – the dramatic words of Professor Stephen Hawking expressed at last year's Technology4Good awards. But Hawking is not alone in his sentiment. My career path also bears testimony to the enormous changes that technology has wrought over the past 20 years. It is not an exaggeration to say that the future is here at last, bringing with it enormous potential to improve the lives of disabled people in infinite ways.
