Abstract
This paper introduces a challenging field in research and emerging field in education, namely assistive technologies. This field is strongly interdisciplinary. It encompasses very broad range of disciplines, including information and communication technologies. We can also identify purely software areas such as eInclusion or eAccessibility, as well as mixed ones, as for example e-healthcare. Assistive technology exists in research however it is not yet covered in education in its complexity.
