Abstract
Disability Discrimination Law is a relatively recent innovation whose principles have now been accepted by the vast majority of the world's nations. Chief amongst these is the elastic yet mercurial concept of reasonable adjustments, which can have some surprising yet potent implications for this rights of people with disabilities. This article is an overview of my varied work aimed at exploring how disability discrimination law can enable new assistive technologies, including systems of general utility (e.g. Google Glass) which as a side effect, can also assist in helping ameliorate disability related disadvantages. At the same time, I also discuss some of the existing limitations with respect to disability discrimination law and its implementation.
