Breakthroughs in mobile and wireless technologies have revolutionized the world in virtually every aspect. While much work
has been and is being done regarding the opportunities and challenges arising from these technologies, much less exists on
the unique opportunities and implications the same devices present and raise to users with special needs. Furthermore, the
existing little work is normally specific to only a certain type of disability or device. While addressing a specific type
of disability or mobile device has its place, it is also significant to ensure that one is operating based on a holistic perspective/framework
of the entire audience of the disabled mobile device users.
