Today, we have a mixture of young and older individuals, people with special
needs, and people who can care for themselves. Over 1 billion people are
estimated to be disabled; this figure corresponds to about 15% of the world's
population, with 3.8% (approximately 190 million people) accounting for people
aged 15 and up (Organization, 2011). The number of people with disabilities is
upward due to the increase in chronic health conditions and many other things.
These and other factors have made the need for proper care facilities urgent in
today's society. Several care facilities are built to help people with
disabilities live their everyday lives and not be left out of the community.

Interaction is a fundamental part of using any computer system but it is
still an issue for people with special needs. In order to improve this
situation, this paper describes a new device-interaction model based on
adaptation rules for user models. The aim is the adaptation at the interaction
level, taking into account the interaction device features in order to improve
the usability through the user experience in the education sector. In the
evaluation process, several students from a special education center have
participated. These students have either a physical or sensory disability or
autism. The results are promising enough to consider that this model will be
able to help students with disabilities to interact with a computer system
which will inevitably provide tremendous benefits to their academic and
personal development.

本文提出了一种新的以适应规则为基础的设备交互模型，旨在适应交互级别，通过用户体验以提高教育领域的可用性，评估结果对于帮助残疾学生与计算机交互有着巨大的潜在益处。
