<div>Track: Social-Technical Issues and Social Inclusion</div>
<div>Minitrack: Inclusion of the Differently-Abled in the Information Society</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Description:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This mini-track invites research papers (conceptual, theoretical, and empirical), research-in-progress, case studies and best practices on Information Systems (IS) use by the differently-abled (DA). People with different abilities, include the blind &
visually-impaired, the elderly, the hearing-impaired and the dyslexic. They are atypical users who interact with IS differently. Often, they face systemic and functional barriers in effective use of IS. Moreover, they are an under-studied population in the
IS discipline.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We draw the attention of the AIS community to the broad theme of IS and differently-abled users to make IS more inclusive. The long-term goal is to leverage the unique skill-sets of differently-abled users to develop an inclusive information society.</div>
