This is the first of a three-volume set that constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction, UAHCI 2007, held in Beijing, China. It covers designing for universal access, universal access methods, techniques and tools, understanding motor diversity, perceptual and cognitive abilities, as well as understanding age diversity.
