ABSTRACT OF Past Present and Future of Accessible Computing:<br>
<br>
Next-next generation interfaces bring new challenges to accessibility,<br>
and new tools for addressing these barriers. This is particularly true<br>
for cognitive, language, and learning disabilities, deaf-blindness,<br>
blindness, and intellectual impairments and other combinations of<br>
disabilities.<br>
<br>
In February, the Trace Center conducted a workshop on the Future of<br>
Interface & Accessibility, bringing together the best mainstream and<br>
accessibility experts to create a research agenda. Gregg will summarize<br>
some key results.<br>
<br>
GREGG VANDERHEIDEN is professor and director of Trace Center at<br>
University of Maryland, College Park.<br>
