Despite the sheer magnitude of this population, systemic exclusion remains rooted in societal infrastructures. Only a fraction of people with disabilities have access to assistive technologies enabling social and economic participation.

 

The path to constructing more inclusive societies demands a comprehensive array of accommodations, which represent the essence of addressing the needs of each individual.
