The widespread acknowledgment of personal computers significantly enhancing the autonomy and communication capabilities of individuals with special needs underscores the importance of well-designed user interfaces. The design of these interfaces plays a crucial role in shaping the social lives of users with disabilities and ensuring their accessibility to opportunities. Moreover, personal computers prove invaluable for individuals with severe motor impairments, enabling them to manipulate their environment and enhance mobility, such as through the use of smart wheelchairs. This increased functionality fosters greater social activity and productivity among this demographic. Recognizing the pivotal role of accessible interfaces, several countries have enacted legislation to safeguard individuals from 'digital exclusion’. However, implementing such legislation poses challenges for inexperienced Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) designers. To address this, the paper advocates for the adoption of inclusive design guidelines, supporting the 'design for all' philosophy. The paper emphasizes the necessity of clear criteria to prevent negative social and ethical consequences for users. The analysis underscores the benefits of inclusive design guidelines in fostering a universal design focus, thereby mitigating the risk of social exclusion. Furthermore, it explores the need for ethical and social guidelines to prevent undesirable side effects on users. The paper concludes by presenting preliminary examples of socially and ethically aware guidelines, offering insights into the ongoing efforts to promote inclusive, responsible design practices in the realm of human-computer interfaces.
