Deep Impact

Assistive technology has an important role in helping people with disabilities, so what this technology can offer goes beyond simple help limits, is that it opens up broad prospects for a new lifestyle. Those with special needs have high concerns, strong wills, solid intentions and creative minds, which Allah Almighty blessed them to encourage and satisfy their hearts. In the context of preface of the book “Nakt al-Humyān fī Nukat al-Umyān, (biographies of notable blind people, with a section on the causes of blindness).” Its writer Khalīl ibn Aybak al-afadī (1296–1363) pointed out a saying, which has high value, deep impact, and significance tribute to people with special needs, where he said: “it's rare to see a blind man being a dull, inefficient, inactive but blind person only can be found as an intelligent, smart and genius. “This research's title is “Assistive Technology for People with Special Needs and its Role in enriching Arabic Grammar and Qur'anic Studies (Abd All āh ibn al-usayn ‘Ukbarī as a model).” We will address issues of people with special needs specially Abd Allāh ibn al-Husayn ‘Ukbarī as a model as he was blinded in his youth as he was hit by chickenpox. The research seeks to discuss the saying: “Although Al-‘Ukbarī was a handicapped person, but he had outstanding efforts and contributions in enriching Arabic grammar and Quranic studies.” It (research) aims to explain the concept of assistive technology and people with special needs, also to know our duty towards them and to mention the most important and preferred effects of Al-‘Ukbarī. As well as clarifying the most prominent features of Al-‘Ukbarī's curriculum in his grammatical works and highlighting his efforts in enriching Arabic grammar and Quranic studies.

Impaired People

Blind people faces lot of difficulties in day to day life. While walking they may struggle during their pathway. Some of the blinds they may use the external things to guide their path. When they were in indoor systems they may not aware of certain places inside their home. They prefer the help of another people to guide their way, instead there is an Li-Fi technology used only for indoor navigation purpose. By using of transmitter and receiver systems it allows them to guide in a proper path. Using voice recognition, the system helps to move from one places to another places inside the home. This project works only through the visible light as a source for communication. So by using this project we trained those blind people to navigate their path in an proper way.

Adaptive User Interface

A large number of blind people use smartphone-based assistive technology to perform their common activities. In order to provide a better user experience the existing user interface paradigm needs to be revisited. A new user interface model has been proposed in this paper. A simplified, semantically consistent, and blind-friendly adaptive user interface is provided. The proposed solution is evaluated through an empirical study on 63 blind people leveraging an improved user experience in performing common activities on a smartphone.
