(Eds): CSUN Assistive Technology Conference © 2017 California State University, Northridge III Preface The Center on Disabilities at California State University, Northridge is proud to welcome you to the fifth issue of the Journal on Technology and Persons with Disabilities. These published proceedings from the Annual CSUN Assistive Technology Conference, represent submissions from the Science/Research Track presented at the event held March 1-3, 2017. The Center on Disabilities at CSUN has been recognized across the world for sponsoring an event that for more than 30 years highlights the possibilities and realities which facilitate the full inclusion of individuals with disabilities. Over the last three decades, it has truly evolved into the most significant global platform for meeting and exchanging ideas, continually attracting more than 4,000 participants annually. We were once again pleased that the fourth Call for Papers for the Science/Research Track in 2016 drew a large response of more than 40 leading researchers and academics. A panel of more than 30 highly-qualified peers from around the world formed the program committee and was chaired by Dr. Klaus Miesenberger. The expertise of the program committee ensured that each contribution was expertly and equitably peer-reviewed and only those submissions of the highest caliber were accepted for presentation and publication. Demonstrating a clear focus on scientific excellence, this fourth Journal and the Science/Research Track at the conference, document CSUN’s commitment to involve scientific researchers from all over the world to fulfill its mission as a platform of exchange with full cooperation and support of all stakeholders. We would like to thank the authors, the Science/Research Track review panel, the Center on Disabilities team at CSUN, and the editorial staff for their professional support. As always, we are grateful for and appreciate the many participants and partners who have contributed to the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference throughout the first 31 years. As we begin to move into our 4th decade, we will continue to seek out this support and collaboration and hope you will join us at our 2017 event where the conference will convene for the first year as the “CSUN Assistive Technology Conference”. Welcome once again to our 5th publication of “The Journal on Technology and Persons with Disabilities.” We hope you will continue to enjoy our endeavors and with your continued support of the Center on Disabilities at CSUN and the annual conference we can all work together in our mission of “changing the world for people with disabilities.” Sandy Plotin Managing Director, Center on Disabilities Journal on Technology and Persons with Disabilities Santiago, J.
