AnnotationDisabled and older people are expected to interact with an increasingly complex technological environment where user interfaces are usually designed only with the requirements of able-bodied users in mind. The ACCESS project of the European Union's TIDE (Technology Initiative for the Disabled and Elderly) Programme offers a novel approach to solving accessibility problems, which this document reports on. Specific examples discussed are communication aids for speech-motor and language-cognitive disabled users, and a hypermedia application for blind students.
