Griffith, Douglas, Gardner-Bonneau, Daryle Jean, Edwards, Alistair, Elkind, Jerome I. and Williges, Robert C. (1989): Human Factors Research with Special Populations will Further Advance the Theory and Practice of the Human Factors Discipline. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 565-566.

“The advent of Public Law 99-506 (ensuring access to electronic office equipment by individuals with disabilities) is causing an increasing number of human factors professionals to examine what the field of human factors has to offer the design of equipment for special populations. Historically the involvement of human factors people in these efforts has been small. So, a reasonable proposition to examine is the title for the panel discussion: Human factors research with special populations will advance the theory and practice of the human factors discipline. One possible view of this proposition is negative; namely, that the involvement of human factors professionals with special populations will benefit neither the discipline nor the population. If a positive view is taken, then there are both weak and strong forms of the proposition. The weak form argues that there is a need to expand human factors methodologies to handicapped populations because there are significant numbers of people who would benefit and that the human factors data base would be significantly expanded. The strong form maintains that the basic theory and practice of human factors will be advanced to the ultimate benefit of the nonhandicapped population.”
