With app-based interaction increasingly permeating all aspects of daily living, it is essential to ensure that apps are designed to be \emph{inclusive} and are usable by a wider audience such as the elderly, with various impairments (e.g.,…
Assistive listening systems (ALSs) dramatically increase speech intelligibility and reduce listening effort. It is very likely that essentially everyone, not only individuals with hearing loss, would benefit from the increased…
In recent years, edge computing has served as a paradigm that enables many future technologies like AI, Robotics, IoT, and high-speed wireless sensor networks (like 5G) by connecting cloud computing facilities and services to the end users.…
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) technologies are categorized into two forms: aided AAC, which uses external devices like speech-generating systems to produce standardized output, and unaided AAC, which relies on body-based…
One of the key challenges faced by autistic children is understanding social affordances in complex environments, which further impacts their ability to respond appropriately to social signals. In traffic scenarios, this impairment can even…
Early diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an effective and favorable step towards enhancing the health and well-being of children with ASD. Manual ASD diagnosis testing is labor-intensive, complex, and prone to human error due to…
Poor social skills in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are associated with reduced independence in daily life. Current interventions for improving the social skills of individuals with ASD fail to represent the complexity of real-life social…
Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students often experience communication barriers in higher education, which are particularly acute in experiential learning environments such as laboratories. Traditional accessibility services, such as…

The world can be a complex and difficult place to navigate. People with High-Functioning Autistic Spectrum Disorder as well as general social ineptitude often face navigation challenges that individuals of other demographics simply do not…
Children with chronic conditions face evolving challenges in daily activities, peer relationships, and clinical care. Younger children often rely on parental support, while older ones seek independence. Prior studies on chronic conditions…
Automated driving system - dedicated vehicles (ADS-DVs), specially designed for people with various disabilities, can be beneficial to improve their mobility. However, research related to autonomous vehicles (AVs) for people with cognitive…
Social robots are increasingly experimented in public and assistive settings, but their accessibility for Deaf users remains quite underexplored. Italian Sign Language (LIS) is a fully-fledged natural language that relies on complex manual…
Access to non-verbal cues in social interactions is vital for people with visual impairment. It has been shown that non-verbal cues such as eye contact, number of people, their names and positions are helpful for individuals who are blind.…
One of the continuing challenges of Human Computer Interaction research is the full inclusion of people with special needs into the digital world. In particular, this crucial category includes people that experiences some kind of limitation…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly disabling mental disease that brings significant impairments of social interaction ability to the patients, making early screening and intervention of ASD critical. With the development of the…
AI-based technologies have significant potential to enhance inclusive education and clinical-rehabilitative contexts for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. AI can enhance learning experiences, empower students, and…
The aim of this study is to introduce an application that enables information sharing and communication between visually-impaired individuals and able-bodied. For the purposes of the study, web-based audio library automation was designed…
Learning disabilities like dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, etc. interfere with academic achievements but have also long terms consequences beyond the academic time. It is widely admitted that between 5% to 10% of the world population is…
Joint Attention (JA), a crucial social skill for developing shared focus, is often impaired in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), affecting social communication and highlighting the need for early intervention. Addressing gaps in…
