Today, 2.5 billion people need assistive technology. That's 1 in 3 of us.

It’s completely understandable and somewhat comical that what assistive technology is, is completely contextual.

I cannot stress this enough.

If your first reaction to a new piece of technology is “people are so lazy these days” or “why would anyone need this,”

It wasn’t made for you.

Why access to assistive technology is a policy issue when it comes to access.

One of the projects I am very proud to be involved with is the Florence Project at UQ: eecs.uq.edu.au/florence

We have been codesigning technologies to support communication and participation with people living with dementia and their care partners.

Florence Project: Make my day go better
Florence is a diverse, cross-discipline project that aims to design communication technology to assist people living with dementia.

Anyone working in #Accessibility #a11y or #AssistiveTechnology has my respect it's a great career, one I've dedicated the last 25 years to, but it's also one where many of the people in the field are themselves disabled (me included) & often work to the point of burnout. I took 7 days off until Dec.

I love this diagram so much. People who've been stuck in The Inaccessibility Cycle before immediately get it, & people who haven't have an "Oh sh**" moment.

#disability #accessibility #disabilityjustice
A circular diagram created by Pacing Pixie called The Inaccessibility Cycle. "Inaccessibility" leads to "disabled people unable to participate" leads to "disabled people not visible in public" leads to "disabled people seen as an outlier/rarity" leads to "so there's little/no need to consider them" leads back to "inaccessibility."

Screen readers don't read pixels. They interpret what our code exposes. Accessibility starts with semantics, not appearance.

Do screen readers actually read the screen?
Most screen readers never look at the rendered screen. Instead, they get information from the browser in two ways.
