Assistive Technologies are commonly viewed as specific, often specialized devices used to aid those certain marginalized groups. But in reality, most assistive technology is quite mundane, and specific “assistive” devices can even be barriers to access. In this presentation, we’ll explore how technology is actually used by marginalized people, how our assumptions prevent access, and how libraries can be integral to providing accessibility for all.
