Reading is a vital skill for social, educational, and professional development, yet various disabilities can impact a person's ability to read and develop literacy skills.HCI and accessibility researchers have explored a wide range of technologies to support reading for people with disabilities.To understand trends in this space, we analyzed 101 publications from Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) venues , coding for target user communities, research methods, technologies, types of support, and contributions.Most research focused on people with dyslexia, followed by people who are Blind or Low Vision, Deaf or Hard of Hearing, or who have intellectual and cognitive disabilities.The majority of studies involved artifact development and short-term lab-based evaluations, with common technologies including visual augmentations, text modifications, and simplification-primarily aimed at improving readability, comprehension, and reading speed.However, participatory approaches and longitudinal evaluations were rarely employed, and the body of work has disproportionately focused on web-based digital reading.Following the initial coding, we conducted community-specific analyses of individual publications to identify patterns and limitations.Based on these analyses, we offer a set of open research questions and community-specific directions to guide future work.
