Assistive Technology for Kids with Multiple Disabilities - Chau Nguyen

Accessibility NYC Meetup - Sep 13 2022 TRANSCRIPT https://isoc.live/a11ynyc/a11ynyc_sep... (TXT) https://archive.org/download/a11ynyc0... (PDF) When we think about accessible video games, most of us might think about adaptations such as the Xbox adaptive controller. However, this leaves out a large population of people who access games and activities through other adaptive means. Chau Nguyen reviews how play can be impacted by disabilities related to brain injuries and how they are adapted in ways that are less explored. In this workshop, Chau, along with her colleague Nora Henry, discussed the students she supports, the ways that they play, and the assistive technologies they use. Workshop participants had the opportunity to try some of these technologies and games that are currently offered. In many presentations and workshops related to people with disabilities, children with significant and multiple disabilities are underrepresented. Their access to the world using technologies is less known, and the games and activities offered to them seem to be more limited. We can all learn about disabilities less represented and build more technologies for them. The perspectives of healthcare providers such as occupational therapists are invaluable in working with people with disabilities. Providing direct care to our clients and students, we work together to build autonomy, participation, and quality of life. PRESENTER Chau Nguyen is an Occupational Therapist with 10 years of clinical experience. Working with individuals across the lifespan, she supports and advocates for participation in occupations (meaningful and necessary activities specific to a person, client, or community) that include leisure, self-care, education, and vocation. She utilizes a human-centered, scientific, and strengths-based perspective to promote inclusive and accessible design practices. Through cross-collaboration with diverse practice areas, she creates products and experiences that are inclusive and accessible for people with disabilities. Chau currently works at iHOPE, a school for students ages 5 to 21 with brain injury and other brain-based diagnoses. She provides services to support her students to engage in school life. Utilizing high and low-tech assistive technologies, she promotes access to play, self-care, academics, and communication.   / hellochau   https://www.yai.org/affiliate/ihope MEETUP https://www.meetup.com/a11ynyc/events...
