ABSTRACT
From the perspective of people with disabilities, technological developments have always been concurrently perceived as a potential support to inclusion in society, but, at the same time, also as a challenge to their present situation. e personal computer, for example, was immediately considered as an invaluable new possibility for accessing information, but it needed adaptations for blind and motor-disabled people. Following the development of textual screen readers, the introduction of graphical user interface was considered by blind people as a threat to their recently acquired autonomy in reading and writing. In fact, they had to wait for the development of screen readers for the graphic interfaces to be able to access computers again.
