How can we better support autonomy for youth with disabilities? Our latest study in @jmirpub.bsky.social uses AI and text mining on national survey data to map the real-world needs for Assistive Technology. medinform.jmir.org/2026/1/e90708/ #MedicalInformatics #AssistiveTech #PatientEmpowerment

AI-generated image created using ChatGPT 6-24-2026: Candid documentary-style photograph, natural lighting, of a diverse group of six children actively playing basketball together on an outdoor court, mid-action and interacting — not posing in a line. One child plays in a sport wheelchair with cambered (angled) wheels, reaching for the ball. One child has an upper-limb prosthetic arm and is holding the basketball, about to pass it. One child wears over-ear noise-cancelling headphones. One child wears a VR headset over the eyes and a white cane. Two able-bodied children jump and reach. Joyful, dynamic, genuine interaction, motion and laughter, shallow depth of field, photorealistic, 35mm, golden hour.
