Technology and Disability (TD)
Journal Descriptions
Technology and Disability is a well‑established quarterly peer‑reviewed journal that explores the intersection of assistive technology and disability studies. First appearing in the early 1990s, the journal serves as a global forum for researchers, practitioners, clinicians, technologists, policymakers, and end users to communicate knowledge that bridges innovation and everyday lived experiences of persons with disabilities. Its scope emphasizes both basic and applied research, offering a wide variety of article types such as research papers, review articles, case studies, program descriptions, commentaries, and service evaluations. The term technology in the journal’s context refers broadly to assistive devices and services designed to support functional performance, independence, and participation. Disability encompasses permanent and temporary functional limitations experienced by people of all ages and in diverse circumstances. The editorial mission is to link technological developments with disability‑related outcomes, promoting evidence‑based application and interdisciplinary dialogue. Each issue includes content addressing education and training, rehabilitation strategies, policy and service activities, engineering design considerations, and consumer perspectives that influence adoption and impact of technologies. Published by SAGE Publications (formerly IOS Press) in partnership with professional organizations such as the Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe, the journal is indexed in key databases like Scopus and CINAHL, reflecting its academic relevance across rehabilitation, engineering, and health informatics domains.
