ABSTRACT
Mobile interaction presents challenges that go beyond the traditional desktop contexts. These difficulties become even greater when considering people with disabilities or people without disabilities that experience situational impairments. Further, mobile devices and interfaces have been evolving at an astonishing rate which leads to increasing difficulties in maturing the field and consequently to ensure accessibility by different people and under different circumstances. This workshop aims to bring together researchers from the Mobile HCI, Mobile Accessibility, and Mobile Web areas, towards identifying the most prominent challenges for mobile accessibility and guidelines for a more structured and faster development of accessible solutions.
