ABOUT THE COURSE:
"Technology, Disability and Techno-Ableism" is a four-week course on disability, technology, accessibility, and AI. It introduces learners to concepts such as ableism, techno-ableism, assistive technologies, universal design, and accessibility. The course looks at both the possibilities and limitations of technology and the ways in which it can support access, participation, and the everyday life of persons with disabilities. Drawing from disability studies, law, and lived experience, it asks how technologies are imagined, designed, and used, and what it means to build more inclusive worlds.
INTENDED AUDIENCE:
• Learners who have completed Class XII or equivalent
• Students entering technology, design, policy, law, social work, or governance
• Early-career professionals seeking orientation to disability and access
• No technical, legal, or medical background required
INDUSTRY SUPPORT: This course will be valued by technology and product companies, design and UX firms, public-sector digital services, and organisations working on responsible AI and accessibility. It supports roles involving inclusive design, digital governance, accessibility auditing, and ethical technology development across industry and public service contexts.
