Science and technology, including nanoscale science and technology, influences and is influenced by various discourses and areas of action. Ableism is one concept and ability expectation is one dynamic that impacts the direction, vision, and application of nanoscale science and technology and vice versa. At the same time, policy documents that involve or relate to disabled people exhibit ability expectations of disabled people. The authors present ability expectations exhibited within two science and technology direction documents from Asia, as well as in two policy documents generated and influenced by disabled people from Asia. As well, the authors discuss the impact of the ability expectations exhibited in these four documents with respect to the relationship between science and technology and disabled people.
科学技术，包括纳米科学技术，会受到各种话语和行动领域的影响，同时也会对其产生影响。能力主义是一个概念，能力期望是一种动态因素，它会影响纳米科学技术的方向、愿景和应用，反之亦然。与此同时，涉及残疾人或与残疾人相关的政策文件体现了对残疾人的能力期望。作者展示了亚洲两份科技方向文件以及亚洲残疾人制定并受其影响的两份政策文件中所体现的能力期望。此外，作者还讨论了这四份文件中所体现的能力期望对科技与残疾人之间关系的影响。
