            Abstract

            Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) are widely used to support developers and heavily rely on using input methods (i.e. keyboard, mouse). Physically impaired developers who cannot utilise these traditional tools can therefore be excluded from development activities and prevented from entering into technical careers. Assistive tools such as speech recognition, eye gaze present an opportunity to address some of these challenges and make coding more accessible. However, they are often investigated independently with less emphasis around multimodal approaches. This dissertation therefore explores how these interaction methods can be integrated within an IDE to provide accessible coding approaches for physically impaired developers.
