Techno Ableism and the Problem with Assistive Devices
This chapter explores the concept of techno ableism and the issues with the development of assistive devices for disabled individuals. It discusses how these technologies often imply that being disabled is inherently wrong and that disabled people always need intervention. The chapter also highlights the lack of consideration for the actual needs and preferences of disabled people during the design process.
