Crip HCI

An orientation within human-computer interaction that brings crip theory and crip technoscience into the methods, design practices, and evaluation frameworks of computing research. Rather than asking how technology can accommodate disabled users within existing normative systems, crip HCI asks whose bodies, paces, and communication styles a system centres — and works to redesign environments, interaction norms, and success metrics around non-normative ways of being. It embraces interdependence, rest, and expressive fulfilment as legitimate goals, resists 'technoableist' framings that treat disability as a problem to be fixed by technology, and is closely allied with disability justice movements.
