A Universal Design Framework of Employment Accessibility Standards for Supporting Visually Impaired Community by Social Robots
This project aims to employ a universal design framework to employ a social robot-aided training system to support the visually impaired community in attaining an inclusive job interview process. The universal design framework advocates that any given environment is accessible by persons with disabilities, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. The research will take an evidence-based approach by adopting qualitative data collection strategies for the visually impaired community, such as conducting interviews and focus group sessions. Data collection will include persons with different visual processing disabilities, successful and unsuccessful experiences in the job interview process, and hiring managers and human resource professionals. The goal is to establish guidelines for implementing inclusive employment and accessibility standards while providing practical tools to break barriers in the recruitment process for the visually impaired community.
