About
Maria Hoogstrate is a pioneering researcher in inclusive technology design, with a primary focus on co-designing accessible technologies for people with intellectual disability. Her work redefines the role of individuals with disabilities in research, moving them from passive participants to active co-researchers. In her most cited paper, "From research participant to co-researcher: Chloe's story on co-designing inclusive technologies with people with intellectual disability" (2024, 5 citations), Hoogstrate elevates the voice of Chloe, a woman with intellectual disability, who shares her firsthand perspective on co-designing social robots and other technologies. This experience report is notable for centering the lived expertise of a co-researcher, offering a powerful model for participatory design. Hoogstrate’s contributions challenge traditional research hierarchies and demonstrate how inclusive methods can lead to technologies that truly benefit everyone. Her work has already garnered attention for its ethical and methodological innovation, inspiring a shift toward more equitable research practices in human-computer interaction and assistive technology.
