The workshop “Assistive Technologies for Inclusion” took place on June, 6. This was the fourth session of the Peer2Peer initiative organized by the NEDD.

The session was led by three DigiMedia researchers: Francisca Rocha Lourenço, a PhD student, and the researchers Rita Oliveira and Oksana Tymoshchuk. 

During the workshop, various assistive technologies for different types of disabilities were discussed, highlighting innovative solutions that make life easier for people with physical, sensory and cognitive limitations. The researchers shared detailed information on how these technologies can be integrated into different contexts to promote inclusion and accessibility.

The workshop provided a platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences, enriching participants’ knowledge of the possibilities and challenges of technologies to support inclusion. The researchers emphasized the importance of continuous innovation and collaboration in the field to ensure that everyone can benefit from technological advances.
