Abstract
This paper introduces to “Technology for Inclusion and Participation” and an STS of the “15th International Conference on Computers Helping People with Special Needs” (ICCHP), 13th – 15th July 2016. It threads contributions of the STS topics along two strands: addressing technological developments and the embeddedness of technology in social settings, underpinning the need to address discriminating environments by social means. The paper reveals the insight, that both perspectives can’t be seen without the other and blends both strands into the discourse on social innovation – the co-creation of innovative solutions for better tackling social needs.
