Technology Product Planning for the Support of Disabled Communities

Using innovative technology products and solutions, we aim to create a gateway of convenience for the disabled community, breaking down the world's "barriers"!

In China alone, there are over tens of millions of disabled individuals who aspire to travel smoothly, use internet products, and access barrier-free services. However, whether it's the physical accessibility of environments, the level of accessibility in internet products, or the availability of barrier-free services, they are all far from ideal and cannot fully meet the needs of various disabled groups, causing them to be involuntarily "isolated" from mainstream society. In addition to this, there are everyday situations where ordinary people may encounter various obstacles. They may be asking for directions in a non-native language, struggling with heavy luggage, or riding an elevator with multiple packages, yet they may not realize they are facing situational barriers.

ASDAN Initiative, in collaboration with the Shenzhen Information Accessibility Research Association, has launched this project. Volunteers enhance public awareness of disabled groups and obstacle scenarios through inclusive experiences. They adopt an inclusive perspective to consider how to respect the differences in the situations of different people and treat people with different abilities, preferences, and needs fairly. Under the guidance of professional mentors, volunteers learn to design information products and submit their proposals to charitable organizations. They use their initiative and creativity to help the disabled community enjoy barrier-free experiences!
