Abstract

    The study presents some celebrities with disabilities. Their achievements are an example of how, even in unfavorable conditions, combativeness can overcome the barriers posed by physical condition. Success and recognition in a field can be achieved regardless of limitations. The studies provoke the development of methodologies and tools for the accumulation of biographical data and additional materials for storing information in the cloud. The data are processed and analyzed from the perspective of the role of disability in the lives of the studied individuals. It is envisaged that the methodology, tools and digital archive will be integrated into a socially oriented digital ecosystem for accessibility.
