It is estimated that around 10% of the world's population, or 650 million people, live with a disability. 80% of persons with disabilities live in developing countries. In an inclusion society, it is “everybody’s business” to apply advanced technology to enhance the performance and education capabilities of persons with disability including children. Due to novel and innovative A&RT, children with disabilities have improved scholastic achievement, and working individuals shown employers that they have an 85% retention rates and 12.2% have small business experience that are assets to employers.
