Designing for Accessibility
Accessibility means that people with a broad range of abilities, including visual, motor, auditory, speech, or cognitive disabilities, can use websites and other digital services.
Accessibility is essential to a successful website. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in 4 U.S. adults – 61 million Americans – have a disability. And if that number were not compelling enough, accessibility is the law.
So how does a team create accessible digital experiences?
On Friday, July 31 at 1 PM, the HCD Community of Practice will welcome iQIES team members Htet Htet Aung, UX Designer, and Sandra Clark, Front-end Developer, to explore:
- Fundamentals of accessibility and UX
- Whom are we trying to help, and why does it matter?
- Incorporating accessibility into the design process
CMS Program Analyst/COR/Section 508 Clearance Officer Brinda Large will join for a panel discussion and question and answer segment.
Brinda is ISG’s 508 Compliance subject matter expert and is involved with accessibility from solicitation to testing to document remediation. Htet Htet specializes in medical applications and accessibility. Her interest in accessibility advocacy began as a researcher for mobile-based text input for people with cerebral palsy and Parkinson’s at Carnegie Mellon University. Sandra has had an abiding interest in accessibility for over 15 years. She has spoken at several programming conferences about the how and why of accessibility.
Register today to join the discussion and to collaborate with a community of professionals. Attend via Zoom.
