Assumptions

• The user must take part in the process as much as

possible

• The local staff are not expert in accessibility

• Not all AT devices are available at every centre

the system

detected for each user with a set of recommendations aboutsoftware and AT devices for her

Data protection

• It has been a priority for us to protect from misuse the personal

data of each user

• This has led to employ a token-driven access control

• The system generates a token for the user the first time he/sheaccesses the system

• Afterwards, the user only provides his/her login to access thesystem

• This way, there is no link between an user and an adaptation

Planned schedule

• Currently, it is in the last development phase

• Deployment is expected to happen at the end of this month

• Access to the tool will be available through the Guadalinfo web
