The NYU Ability Project's work spans the fields of medical rehabilitation & assistive technology, accessible digital UX design, development work & curriculum development.

Claire Kearney-Volpe will discuss some of the projects that she has been working on over the last 3 years as the project's Research Fellow, & invite project ideas & collaborations.
