Abstract
Technology is now an integral part of daily life and also in educational context; first of all to support students with special needs, secondly to overcome the “specific need for teaching” of those who, as experts in education, are pre-occupied to “design” teaching processes that can reach all learners, not one less. In recent years, attention to technological innovation has been directed by a desire to make technology increasingly able in simulating the abilities that distinguish us as humans: cognition and the ability to direct action through thought. We are increasingly committed to making technology “smart.” There is more focus on “things” than on “people.” The technique was born as a tool for humans, the result of human intelligence. It's necessary to refocus the tension of technological innovation to support people, especially people with disabilities, and promote social equity. A civil society, in fact, in order to be defined as civil, should take care of the most fragile humanity so that accessibility translates into real promotion and enhancement of human capital.
