Welcome
Welcome to the International Conference on Computers Helping People
with Special Needs, ICCHP 2024!
Last ICCHP was a great successful in-person event, and it showed that
Covid-19 crisis was gradually becoming a thing of the past.
It was indeed a pleasure to see each other and engage fruitful discussions.
Following that memorable event, we are delighted to announce the 19th
vibrant biennial conference, returning to our home in LINZ!
Since its inception in 1989, ICCHP has contributed a lot of research
findings to various areas such as accessibility, inclusion, eAccessibility and
Assistive Technology.

technology and services to promote inclusion and participation in all
aspects of society.
Personally, my first ICCHP experience was in 2000, over twenty years ago.
Back then, there were no smartphones, no social networking services, and no practical artificial
intelligences.
Over time, technology has evolved dramatically.
Nowadays, “everyone” uses various SNS on their smartphones, often with AI-driven recommendations.
However, even in this cutting-edge era, or perhaps because of it, various accessibility issues still persist.
To address and resolve such challenges, I am confident that ICCHP is the ideal platform.
Here, you can find research companions, discuss your issues, and establish a global human network even
more valuable than AI.
We warmly invite you to participate in this remarkable conference and share your ideas. We eagerly
await your contribution and presence.

living, participation, inclusion and improved services and support. By its nature, ICCHP is concerned with wide
range of topics in research and practice of these evolving disciplines and related fields. A glossary of topics related
to the conference is provided at https://www.icchp.org/topics-24

C) Special Thematic Sessions
https://icchp.org/sts-24
ICCHP invites leading experts to organize Special Thematic Sessions (STS) to present a focused, detailed and
comprehensive view to specifically defined topics of particular interest. STSs therefore welcome both LNCS and
Open Access Compendium contributions. This should facilitate a broader view and interdisciplinary and cross-
stakeholder discussion/exchange.
STS Chairs advertise the session in their own communities and networks. ICCHP announces STSs on its web page
and allows contributors to select an STS for their paper(s) during the submission process. Special thematic sessions
must be proposed by January 19, 2024.
The Review Committee will evaluate proposals of STSs and negotiate in case of overlapping proposals. The inclusion
of an STS in the final program and in one of the Conference Proceedings is subject to a minimum of four accepted
papers. STS Chair(s) are invited to compile and publish an introductory paper to the STS in the proceedings (6 - 8
pages in camera ready LNCS or OAC format) at no additional cost.
Please note, that STS chairs have to decide, which scientific publishing option they will use, applicable for all
contributions submitted to the STS.
The deadline for the STS introductions is April 5, 2024. More information at: https://icchp.org/sts-24

2. Innovation Area
https://icchp.org/innovation-24
ICCHP strives to strengthen dialogue, exchange and cooperation between stakeholder groups in the field of
Technology and Disability by inviting end users and their organizations, service providers, educators, policy makers,
administrators. Our Innovation Area is the ideal place for having that dialogue, to showcase your projects,
