Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Reimagining Disability documentary about?
It documents the intersection of technology, design, and human potential in the disability space — examining how the right tools, systems, and attitudes transform what is possible for people with disability. The documentary takes a foresight lens: what is already possible, what is arriving, and what barriers are institutional rather than technical.
Q: What does a foresight perspective add to the disability inclusion conversation?
It shifts the frame from compliance and accommodation to capability and design. Most organisations approach disability inclusion as a legal obligation. The foresight perspective asks: what becomes possible when we design for the full range of human capability from the start? Universal design thinking benefits everyone — this is one of the clearest examples of how designing for the edge improves the centre.
Q: What are the most significant technology signals for disability in the coming decade?
Brain-computer interfaces for communication and mobility (Neuralink is the prominent name, but there are many serious research programs), exoskeleton technology moving from rehabilitation to everyday use, AI-powered real-time translation for sensory differences (captioning, description, communication augmentation), and the continued maturation of prosthetics. The decade to 2035 will see more change in this space than the previous five decades.
Q: Can Morris Misel speak on disability, inclusion, and future design for our organisation?
Yes. Disability inclusion, universal design, and the futures of human capability are topics he addresses for corporate, government, and association clients. Book at morrismisel.com.
