Doha, Qatar: The role of technology in promoting inclusivity for individuals with disabilities is increasingly recognised in today’s digital age.
A critical aspect often overlooked is the intersection of localisation, assistive technology and digital accessibility in fostering a sustainable and inclusive digital environment.
Mada Center (Qatar Assistive Technology Center) in its recent issue of Nafath magazine highlighted the importance of advance research on the complex interplay between digital accessibility, localisation, and sustainability.
Qatar recognises the profound impact of digital inclusivity on societal well-being and at the forefront of this movement in Qatar is Mada. Through its groundbreaking initiatives, Mada has championed the cause of digital accessibility, ensuring that technological advancements are not just widespread but also deeply rooted in the local context, the issue said.
True sustainability can only be achieved when all members of society, including those with disabilities are included in the developmental narrative. Inclusivity ensures that policies, technologies, and infrastructures are designed to cater to the broadest range of users, promoting equitable opportunities and ensuring that no one is left behind.
