3 modes of disability

Permanent Disability A complete disability that is constant and will not go away. Examples: blindness, deafness Temporary Disability A physical or mental disability which hinders your discharging of responsibilities for a short period of time. Examples: broken arm Conditional or Situational Disability When you are not able to do things due to the situation you find yourself in. Example: slow internet connection

Your information must be accessible

Here is the homepage of my local

  • hospital. There is no mention

anywhere on this page about the emergency room.

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Your information must be accessible

Ah, wait - a slideshow changes and now we’ve got something about the ER - let’s check it out!

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Your information must be accessible

There is no mention of where the ER is or how to contact it, nor any calls to action indicating that there is an ER contact page.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Your information must be accessible

When you open the main menu, still no mention of the emergency

  • department. Imagine your loved
  • ne has been sent to this hospital

and you need to know how to contact or find the ER. You’re

  • panicking. You need this info.

How do we fix this?

It may not be easy

Accessibility is not always about disability

Inclusive Design

slide-21
SLIDE 21

think about everyone

lgbtqia folks does your site ask about gender? does it need to? if so, make sure you’re inclusive.

slide-22
SLIDE 22

No one is an “other”

slide-23
SLIDE 23

think about everyone

lgbtqia folks does your site use a gendered/human icon? why?

slide-24
SLIDE 24

think about everyone

lgbtqia folks Can you replace with a user uploaded image? (Instagram) Can you default to a random image? (Tumblr, github)

slide-25
SLIDE 25

think about everyone

lgbtqia folks does your site ask for a user’s legal name? if you need it, ask for a display name, as well. This helps trans/nb folks and anyone who may want to protect their online identity.

slide-26
SLIDE 26

think about everyone

  • ther countries and languages

unless your site is legally only for residents of a certain country, don’t assume that’s where all of your users are from! (if that is the case, it should only be accessible from that country)

slide-27
SLIDE 27

think about everyone

  • ther countries and languages

do you provide translations of your site? (Shoutout to Drupal for easy i18n) can your site be easily translated by a service like google translate?

slide-28
SLIDE 28

think about everyone

your writing is it clear? is it concise?

  • r do you use big words and complex sentences when

simpler ones would do?

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Here’s the deal: you’re not Dickens.

slide-30
SLIDE 30

your writing must be readable to everyone. that includes:

people with low literacy people whose first language is not english people with cognitive issues/disorders etc

slide-31
SLIDE 31

websites are meant to convey

  • information. make sure that’s what

you’re doing.

there are tools like http:/ /www.hemingwayapp.com/ which can help analyze and simplify your text.
