We love making connections
In March 2019, we were thrilled to be invited back as speakers and exhibitors to CSUN, the largest conference in the world for technology and disability. We are grateful to the dozens of people whom we met and/or reconnected with that shared their stories with us. At the HP Office of Aging & Accessibility, one of our greatest joys is hearing from customers who have a story about the way that HP technology positively impacts their life—whether it be at home or school, during work or travel. If you would like to connect with our team, use this page to send us your story. We’d love to meet you.
3D Print transforms life with prosthetics
The World Health Organization estimates that there are 30 million people with amputated limbs—many of whom have no access to prosthetics. Even when an individual can gain access to a prosthetic limb, fitting has traditionally been uncomfortable and time-consuming. But today, people are turning to HP Jet Fusion 3D printing technology for better fitting, and better looking, prosthetics. Companies around the world who use HP’s 3D print technology can create affordable, precise-fit prosthetic limbs that are designed for the wearer and shortens the production time from weeks to days.
Improving access to specialized footwear
HP recently partnered with the NFL and FitStation to provide players with personalized cleat recommendations across the league. As HP’s own Sarah Clevinger said, “It’s not about HP having its own footwear company; it’s about changing the industry and creating something that’s better for the customer.” We believe that there are many interesting applications of custom-fit footwear that would benefit people with disabilities and we are excited that our innovations in immersive computing are opening up these new possibilities.
Hiring more people with autism
Approximately 85% of college graduates with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are unemployed, yet 77% of these unemployed individuals say they want to work. From our earliest days, HP has recognized that drawing from diverse points of view improves everything we do—from the products we make to the services we provide to the stories we tell. HP’s Disability Business Impact Network has led the way in jumpstarting a new pilot program at our Boise, Idaho location called HP Spectrum Success. Set to launch in 2019, this pilot program will aim to amplify HP’s inclusive hiring efforts by specifically targeting the recruitment, hiring, and retention of talented individuals with autism.
Accessible voice command at work
The technology needs of people with disabilities are diverse and individual. When HP thinks about designing products and solutions for employees who work in large business environments, our aim is to create a seamless experience that maximizes productivity and creativity. Last year, we launched an exciting voice command and screen reader accessory that takes the accessible printing experience at work to a new level from an accessibility perspective, particularly for people with low vision or blindness. We look forward to hearing more stories about the way the HP Accessibility Assistant transforms workplace productivity.
