This piece highlights the need for a critical examination of the normative underpinnings within the field of assistive technologies, emphasizing that these technologies often perpetuate societal norms and may inadvertently limit the diverse experiences of individuals with disabilities.It calls for a shift in the design and implementation of assistive technologies, advocating for a more individualized approach that moves beyond accommodationism and grapples with the multiplicity of beingness that disability invokes.By drawing from the insights of crip studies and the critique of normativity in Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron," this piece invites the field of assistive technologies to challenge established norms, embrace othered invocations of being, and embrace the rich tapestry of human experiences, regardless of their deviation from traditional notions of ability and functionality.
