The use of digital tools (PC, smartphone, tablet, etc.) is essential in today’s world. We use them every day, whether in professional or personal surroundings. It is therefore important that these devices are accessible by everyone and on all platforms. Prior work has addressed the problem of accessibility of digital tools for motor-disabled users. However, despite progress, interaction performance (speed and accuracy) remains poor, and accessible interaction techniques often causes fatigue or increased cognitive load. Much remains to be done to improve accessibility for interaction techniques.
This Special Thematic Session (STS) solicits recent experiences and contributions on approaches, methods, models, techniques and empirical or experimental work for enhancing interaction accessibility for people with motor disabilities. This Special Thematic Session will consider all aspects of research on interaction techniques, including (but not limited to):

• Measures and models
• Entry devices and techniques
• HCI design, implementation and testing
• Evaluation of interaction techniques
• User experience
