Abstract
The chapter presents some experiences carried out in Computer Sciences Department of the Universidad Católica del Norte (Chile) related to the development of technological products at the service of people with disabilities. Since 2006, the author has been working with institutions made up of people with disabilities in co-creating solutions to problems that affect their independence and inclusion in different areas. Products have been created for the blind, deaf, and children belonging to autism spectrum disorder. The work teams of each project have been made up of the author of this chapter together with students from Computer Science and the Master's Program in Computer Engineering. Results have been satisfactory. The challenge is to achieve an effective universal design, which should include, from the early stages of each project, not only typical end users, but also those who present conditions that require special considerations to access the technology.
