The document summarizes an academic conference on innovation for disabled and disadvantaged persons. It discusses concepts of independent living as a design criteria and provides examples of existing assistive technologies and products for disabled groups. It also outlines considerations for user, researcher, and environmental factors in design from an industrial design perspective. Holistic assessment indices are proposed to evaluate designs for users, producers, and society. Finally, examples of industrial design research outputs are mapped based on disabled user groups.

User innovation refers to innovation
by consumers and end users,
rather than suppliers. Eric von
Hippel (von Hippel 1986) of MIT
and others 'discovered' that many
products and services are actually
developed or at least refined, by
users, at the site of implementation
and use.

What is Independent Living
- A Personal Definition
Independent Living is a philosophy and a movement of people with disabilities
who work for self-determination, equal opportunities and self-respect.
Independent Living does not mean that we want to do everything by ourselves
and do not need anybody or that we want to live in isolation.
Independent Living means that we demand the same choices and control in our
every-day lives that our non-disabled brothers and sisters, neighbors and
friends take for granted. We want to grow up in our families, go to the
neighborhood school, use the same bus as our neighbors, work in jobs that
are in line with our education and interests, and start families of our own.
Since we are the best experts on our needs, we need to show the solutions we
want, need to be in charge of our lives, think and speak for ourselves - just
as everybody else.
To this end we must support and learn from each other, organize ourselves and
work for political changes that lead to the legal protection of our human and
civil rights.
