Title A name given to the resource Assistive Technology and Medical Practice in the News Description An account of the resource This collection includes images and video clips from news media depictions of assistive technology in medical practice. Items were selected to highlight the arbitrary distinction between assistive technology and medical devices and demonstrate how media depictions of technology in this context reinforce stigmatizing and exclusionary attitudes, values, and beliefs embedded in the medical establishment and American culture at large.

By focusing exclusively on professional applications of technology, the article reinforces accepted cultural assumptions that equate physical and economic autonomy with social inclusion. The story briefly mentions Cordes' contribution to the development of software that uses varying musical tones to explain protein structures, but does so primarily to highlight his work ethic and tireless determination to overcome barriers related to his visual impairment. Defining this technology based on the intended purpose of assisting individuals with visual impairments creates a barrier that restricts consideration of its possible contributions to medical practice in general.
