If you encounter any problems, please contact noemi.mauro(a)unito.it .We apologize for this inconvenience. Special Issue on Intelligent Systems for People with Diverse Cognitive Abilities This special issue highlights state-of-the-art research in intelligent systems and technology for people with diverse abilities. To control scope, we focus on cognitive diversity, including but not limited to, neurodevelopmental disorders and autism, cognitive and learning disabilities, and dementia. This special issue targets the challenges and requirements inherent to the development and assessment of such systems. Submission of Proposals To help authors find a good fit, we encourage proposals. Proposals should be about 1000 words and provide a clear indication of what the paper is about. Proposals will be evaluated for relevance to the special issue theme, and guidance will be given. Both proposal and full paper submissions should be submitted to the HCI Editorial site ( https://rp.tandfonline.com/submission/create?journalCode=HHCI&_ga=2.138…)2MjEuMA).
