Alice Bartlett Origami Lead, Financial Times @alicebartlett Accessibility 101
WHAT IS ACCESSIBILITY?
WebAim reckons there are 4 categories of impairment: @alicebartlett
1. visual 2. hearing 3. motor 4. cognitive @alicebartlett
This way of thinking about accessibility is not perfect @alicebartlett
GDS Anne Gibson has written about this over on A
List Apart
Accessibility needs can be long term @alicebartlett
You have epilepsy @alicebartlett
You’re blind @alicebartlett
You have learning difficulties @alicebartlett
Accessibility needs can be temporary @alicebartlett
You have a migraine @alicebartlett
You break your arm @alicebartlett
You develop RSI @alicebartlett
You’re in a very noisy and chaotic environment @alicebartlett
Give users as many ways as possible to access your
website @alicebartlett
There are technologies that can help for many impairments @alicebartlett
Screen readers @alicebartlett
Dictation software @alicebartlett
Keyboards @alicebartlett
And there are some improvements that aren’t technology based @alicebartlett
Colour choices @alicebartlett
Sentence length @alicebartlett
Language @alicebartlett
Information architecture @alicebartlett
So reaching a good level of accessibility means supporting a
variety of assistive tech, and designing your site thoughtfully @alicebartlett
That involves everyone. @alicebartlett
Accessibility is everyone’s responsibility
Vox Media have a checklist for their designers, pms, qa,
and developers (link at the end) @alicebartlett
The Straw Test
@alicebartlett
@alicebartlett
WHY?
The Equality Act (2010)
“The duty to make reasonable adjustments”
