Abstract
By focusing on users' abilities rather than disabilities, designers can create interactive systems better matched to those abilities.

Ability-Based Design: Concept, Principles and Examples
Current approaches to accessible computing share a common goal of making technology accessible to users with disabilities. Perhaps because of this goal, they may also share a tendency to centralize disability rather than ability. We present a refinement ...
SIGCHI Social Impact Award Talk -- Ability-Based Design: Elevating Ability over Disability in Accessible Computing
CHI EA '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe term "disability" connotes an absence of ability, but is like saying "dis-money" or "dis-height." All living people have some abilities [2]. Unfortunately, history is filled with examples of a focus on dis-ability, on what is missing, and on ensuing ...
Mixed-Ability Collaboration for Accessible Photo Sharing
ASSETS '18: Proceedings of the 20th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and AccessibilityWe conducted two online surveys about current and potential collaborative photo sharing processes among blind and sighted people. We describe existing challenges that blind and visually impaired people encounter when trying to write alternative text for ...
