10.48550/arXiv.2603.26252A framework to rethink AI's role in ability-diverse collaboration by centering the interdependent ways people with disabilities already work.
Abstract
AI accessibility tools have mostly been designed for individual use, helping one person overcome a specific functional barrier. But for many people with disabilities, complex tasks are accomplished through collaboration with others who bring complementary abilities, not solitary effort. We propose a three-layer framework, Channelling, Coordinating, and Co-Creating, that rethinks AI's role in ability-diverse collaboration: establishing shared informational ground across abilities, mediating workflows between collaborators with different abilities, and contributing as a bounded partner toward shared goals. Grounded in the Ability-Diverse Collaboration framework, grounding theory, and Carlile's 3T framework, it extends the ``agents as remote collaborators'' vision by centring the collaborative, interdependent ways people with disabilities already work.

WHY NOW
Human-Agent Collaboration moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 3.0/10.
AI accessibility tools have mostly been designed for individual use, helping one person overcome a specific functional barrier.
This is a direct statement in the abstract that sets the context for the paper's proposed framework.
partial
But for many people with disabilities, complex tasks are accomplished through collaboration with others who bring complementary abilities, not solitary effort.
This statement directly contrasts the individual-use focus of current tools and highlights the importance of collaboration for people with disabilities, as stated in the abstract.
partial
We propose a three-layer framework, Channelling, Coordinating, and Co-Creating, that rethinks AI’s role in ability-diverse collaboration
The abstract explicitly introduces this framework as the core contribution of the paper.
partial
establishing shared informational ground across abilities
This is one of the three core functions of the proposed framework, as detailed in the abstract.
partial
mediating workflows between collaborators with different abilities
This is a specific function of one of the layers in the proposed framework, as described in the abstract.
partial
contributing as a bounded partner toward shared goals.
This describes the role of AI in the third layer of the proposed framework, as stated in the abstract.
partial
Grounded in the Ability-Diverse Collaboration framework, grounding theory, and Carlile’s 3T framework
The abstract explicitly lists the theoretical underpinnings of the proposed framework.
partial
it extends the “agents as remote collaborators” vision by centring the collaborative, interdependent ways people with disabilities already work.
The abstract explains how the proposed framework builds upon and extends existing visions in human-agent collaboration.
