M-Enabling Summit’s Post

2025 M-Enabling Summit Parallel Session Spotlight Incorporating Privacy into Design of Assistive Technologies for Persons with Disabilities Assistive technologies provide support for individuals, but they also risk revealing sensitive information. To function effectively, these technologies often require access to data related to disability, health, and location. However, improper handling of this information can compromise privacy and trust. This session will examine how principles of privacy by design should guide the innovation of assistive technologies. The speakers will include: 1. Ariana Aboulafia (of Center for Democracy & Technology) 2. Henry Claypool (of American Association of People with Disabilities) 3. Achi Mishra (of Northwestern University) 4. Maitreya Shah (of American Association of People with Disabilities) Join us to discuss practical strategies for aligning accessibility innovation with responsible data practices.
