In the past accessibility has been addressed by creating specially designed products or specially designed assistive technology to allow people to access standard products. New technological developments, however, offer the prospect of products that can be accessible to all. Some of these developments, both current and in prospect, are described and the implications for people with hearing disabilities, visual disabilities, cognitive disabilities and physical disabilities are discussed. The implications for human services, including those related to funding, are also examined.
