FACE Disabled People, Technology and Internet
(2006)- Abstract
- This thesis is based on the Internet experiences of people with
significant mobility/physical impairments who are proficient and
experienced computer users in their computer world but have
limitations in mobility that severely restrict their functioning in
the physical world. The Internet functioning of this group is
analysed by means of the factors attitude, control and enabling,
with the main focus on what is achievable when all access
problems such as unadapted interfaces, beginners? difficulties and
the digital divide are overcome. If the virtual world is fully

significant mobility/physical impairments who are proficient and
experienced computer users in their computer world but have
limitations in mobility that severely restrict their functioning in
the physical world. The Internet functioning of this group is
analysed by means of the factors attitude, control and enabling,
with the main focus on what is achievable when all access
problems such as unadapted interfaces, beginners? difficulties and
the digital divide are overcome. If the virtual world is fully
available but the real world is not ? what are the effects on
learning, self image, communities of practice, sense of coherence,
power and control? What are the effects on peer-to-peer learning
and co-operation? Independent living concepts and theories
manifest themselves throughout the thesis, most obviously,
perhaps, in the selection of issues that are studied and in the
perspectives.
The theoretical background and concepts are those of disability
studies, with a social model and independent living perspective,
and with strong influences from rehabilitation engineering and
design.
Throughout the thesis elaborations and clarifications of the
possibilities of interplay and co-existence between rehabilitation
engineering and design and disability studies are made. Different
aspects of function design and technology are examined from an
expanded view on functioning, where technology is put in an
individual and social context with the FACE (Function ? Attitude,
Control, Enabling) tool. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)

Denna avhandling baserar sig på de erfarenheter av Internet som
ett antal människor med betydande kroppsliga funktionsnedsättningar
gjort. Personerna i studierna är erfarna och duktiga
dator- och Internetanvändare och har få eller inga funktionshinder
i dator och online världen, men däremot stora funktionshinder i
den fysiska världen. Deras functioning, förmåga att fungera, på
Internet analyseras i denna avhandling med hjälp av faktorerna
attitude (attityd), control (kontroll) och enabling (möjliggörande)
för att utröna vad som är möjligt när alla nybörjarproblem och alla
dåligt anpassade gränssnitt redan är avklarade. Om den virtuella
världen är fullt tillgänglig men den fysiska inte är det ? vilka blir då
effekterna på självbild, lärande, lärande gemenskaper, känsla för
sammanhang, makt och kontroll? Vilka är effekterna av peer-topeer
lärande och samarbete? Independent living, dess begrepp och
teorier, går som en röd tråd genom avhandlingen. Mest uppenbart
är detta kanske genom valet av studier och perspektiv. Den
teoretiska bakgrunden och de begrepp som används kommer från
disability studies utifrån ett social model och indepdendent living
perspektiv samt från rehabiliteringsteknik och design. Just
möjligheterna till samspel och ömsesidig utveckling mellan
rehabiliteringsteknik och design å ena sidan och å den andra
disability studies är ett centralt tema. Olika aspekter på design och
teknik för funktion behandlas med hjälp av FACE-verktyget
(Functioning- Attitude, Control, Enabling) ur ett utökat
funktionsperspektiv, både individuellt och socialt. (Less)
