CSUN 2014 talk by Professor Jonathan Hassell describing models for assessing the maturity of accessibility practice - within organisations and in the field as a whole - discussing how they can be used to measure the maturing of the whole accessibility profession that shows signs of happening around us.
How BS8878 brings together usability & accessibilityJonathan Hassell
Accessibility is all about checklists, HTML and assistive technologies. Its only impact on User Experience is to stop designers from being creative.
Sometimes, you'd be forgiven for thinking that those two statements are true.
Professor Jonathan Hassell has spent much of his last three years disproving them, both at the BBC and in other organisations, and coding how accessibility should be seen in the context of user-centred design into BS 8878.
In this presentation from Camp Digital Manchester 2012 he shows how BS 8878 provides a framework for helping UX professionals embed accessibility considerations into their work, how it can empower and free them from onerous constraints, how it can challenge them to be more creative, and how the results can benefit all users, not just those with disabilities.
2009: Maturing in accessibility - a brief BBC historyJonathan Hassell
Presentation given by Jonathan Hassell (Head of Audience Experience & Usability for BBC Future Media & Technology) at Media Trust Digital Inclusion conference in 2009.
Covers: how to use the Employers Forum for Disability Maturity Model for accessibility to assess your organisation's maturity, and how the BBC has measured itself against it
uKinect Gesture Recognition Games for Disabled PeopleJonathan Hassell
Can games technologies like Kinect prove useful in helping people with learning difficulties to communicate?
In this presentation from Digital Shoreditch (#ds12) Jonathan Hassell - co-lead of uKinect - gives a brief glimpse into how uKinect is helping young people who use Makaton to improve their signing, and helping other people who do not sign to understand signing.
He also highlights the potential for technologies that are designed to help disabled people to often break into the mainstream as innovative new directions in product design.
Case studies of implementing BS 8878 (CSUN 2012)Jonathan Hassell
Why is embedding web accessibility into your organisation's culture and processes so important? And what do organisations who have done this using BS 8878 say are the benefits? In this presentation Jonathan Hassell, the Standard's lead-author, answers these questions and poses one of his own: should BS 8878 become an International Standard, and if so, how?
Some of our key accessibility ideas are back to front. The most important aspect of the accessibility of images isn't 'alt-text'. The number of disabled people who use assistive technologies is tiny compared with those who don't. And for many people video is more accessible than text, not less accessible.
In this CSUN 2014 talk, Professor Jonathan Hassell exposes 16 foundational things that all advocates “know” about accessibility as myths, using real user-research to show how they need to be replaced to properly serve today’s tablet and mobile-obsessed disabled and older users.
Accessibility as Innovation - giving your potential users the chance to inspi...Jonathan Hassell
Many organisations seem to fear that making their products accessible means dumbing them down: they might then work for everyone, but they will lose a lot of their pizzazz in the process.
In this eAccess-13 presentation Jonathan Hassell presents the contrary view - that organisations that really look into the different needs of their disabled audiences often find this breaks them out of fixed positions, allowing them to take innovative leaps in product design.
Using examples from the typewriter to the iPhone classic ‘Zombies, Run!’ and his own recent projects involving the Microsoft Kinect games controller, Jonathan guides you through a way of thinking about product development which is inclusive, creative and potentially very lucrative.

Accessibility innovation through gestural and sign-language interfacesJonathan Hassell
CSUN 2014 talk by Professor Jonathan Hassell describing how Hassell Inclusion, Gamelab UK, and Reflex Arc are using Natural User Interface technologies like Microsoft Kinect to create a whole new generation of assistive technologies based around the movements, gestures and signs different groups of disabled people make.
Two projects are described:
Nepalese Necklace movement games for blind and partially-sighted children that encourage blind and partially-sighted children to engage more readily with their early mobility training through making the body- and spatial-awareness exercises they have to perform the controls for motivational 3D audio-games;
uKinect sign language eLearning games to help people who use sign language to more easily transition into employment by enabling them to learn workplace-specific sign vocabularies using instructive video and our innovative Kinect sign-language recognition system.

Design for all vs. Design for me: the limits of Inclusive DesignJonathan Hassell
Over the last few years accessibility has been usefully rebranded as ‘universal or inclusive design’, to emphasise its obvious link with usability and UX. But ‘universal design’ (design for everyone) is an unattainable ideal, and ‘inclusive design’ (design for as many people as you reasonably can) falls down where people’s needs cannot all be supported by one design. In this UCD-13 presentation, Jonathan Hassell discusses why we are settling for ‘design for all’ when the personalisation capabilities of digital software mean we can ‘design for me’, which is really what everyone wants anyway.

Checking Our Footing: 16 Modern Accessibility Myths DebunkedJonathan Hassell
Many of the things accessibility advocates believe are out of date. Yes, the web industry has loads of myths about accessibility which we constantly need to battle. But some of the understanding of accessibility advocates is equally flawed.
In this talk to a11yLDN 2012 I challenge some of the accepted assumptions many of us hold that I believe are really not serving us, or the disabled and elderly people we are trying to help, well at all. In their place I detail some more researched, more effective findings from which to continue to grow our influence in the web community.

Setting the Customer's Journey: Walk a Mile In Your Customer's ShoesAggregage
Product professionals use phrases like "voice of the customer," and "user experience" so often that it can be easy to lose sight of their actual meanings. This phrase blur is dangerous, as it can pull our attention from what should be our real focus: our our customers' and users' needs. How can we, as product professionals, learn to keep customers and users at the heart of our work?
Join Steven Haines, globally recognized thought leader and author, as he guides us through a memorable journey demonstrating how you can walk a mile in your customer's shoes. He'll explore how, by developing true empathy for your users, you can ensure you're creating the features and products they actually want.
Accessibility Buy-In for Inclusive Product WeekKat K. Richards
Get buy-in for accessibility work by knowing your audience and their priorities. With UX and allyship skills, Kat will discuss effective ways to pitch accessibility. Learn how to sell this to internal teams, senior management and even to clients, and be one step closer to building more inclusive solutions.
With increased complaints and legal action for organisations of inaccessible websites (Coles, Peapod) and apps (Westpac), now is the time for all web and app Project Managers, Developers, UX/Designers, Content Producers, Business Analysts and Testers to be ‘baking in’ accessibility into processes and work practices.
This presentation will show that accessibility is everyone’s responsibility and it is not difficult to get started or find resources that will help you and your team produce a website, app or digital presence that works for everyone!
From project to product mindset and onwards to product platform architecturesJorn Bettin
Is it possible to stay innovative and economically manage many hundreds or even thousands of products or product variants?
Organisations interested in benefiting from a product line and product platform approach must adopt values and organisational principles that encourage the development of deep domain expertise. This includes a deep understanding of the forces that continuously change the environment of the product line. These forces can then be harnessed as part of the architectural foundation for the product line.
The pervasive digitisation of services and the desire to create and operate platforms that can support large digital service ecosystems that include many organisations, have put the spotlight on design principles for product lines, product platforms, and related organisational structures.
These slides relate to a talk at ProductTank Auckland (https://www.meetup.com/ProductTank-Auckland/events/252496542/). The video recording is available at https://twitter.com/pmauckland/status/1021272934416109568.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

to achieve the consistent creation of web sites and
apps that are usable and accessible to all your
customers, at the most efficient cost
• with practical case-studies from leading
accessibility experts worldwide, including:
• Jennison Asuncion (Canada),
• Debra Ruh & Jeff Kline (USA),

studies, click below
More details on how to work towards accessibility maturity
are available in my book
9. Business drivers – do you know why you’re doing accessibility,
and what you aspire it to do for your organisation?
10. Standards – do you have documented standards for accessibility; are you
following them; are they maintained; are you influencing the creation of
new standards?
11. Governance – do you have a governance process; are you actively
applying it; are you maintaining it; are your suppliers following it too?
12. Resources – are you investing in accessibility; is your spending strategic
or on accessibility innovation; are you monitoring budget effectiveness?
13. Delivery process – have you integrated accessibility into your delivery
process; are you testing with users; have you created metrics for
compliance; is it resulting in excellent products?
14. Procurement & supplier contracts – does your procurement process
include accessibility; are you using it; are you actively pursing
partnerships with suppliers that can uphold your accessibility values?
15. How do you handle accessibility of legacy systems? – do you have a
strategy in place for prioritising when different legacy systems will become
accessible; how far are you through implementing that strategy?
16. Reasonable adjustments process – have you established how you will
make reasonable adjustments to internal or external tools/widgets that
don’t comply; are you using it and managing it?
17. Another model for maturity from an unlikely source:
A ‘set of components & services to support lifelong learning in Higher Education’
18. Intervention: is pretty much what happens when you wake up to
accessibility (usually through a user-complaint), do initial tests, do minimal
remediation, a one-off fix…
19. Institutionalisation: you start to realise that wasn’t a one-off, and you need
to organise the whole team to make sure problems don’t happen again…
24. “It’s just the way we
do things around
here...”
Or, even better, just make accessibility the way you work
25. BBC MMX
Why the BBC cares about accessibility…
• Public Service ‘putting audiences at the heart of all we do’
– all people pay their licence fee
– we need them all to gain value from it
– enabling more people to use our products gives us better ROI
and reach
• Uphold brand reputation
– our audience expect this from us…
– net promoter (‘would you recommend us…’)
– winning awards…
• Reduce negative feedback
– when everyone funds you…
everyone shares their view
• Legislation and regulation in the background
26. BBC MMX
“When we work on
making our devices
accessible by the
blind,
I don't consider the
ROI.”
Tim Cook, Apple Shareholder meeting,
Feb 2014
How do we understand what Tim Cook meant by this?
27. “When we work on
making our devices
accessible by the
blind,
I don't consider the
ROI.”
Tim Cook, Apple Shareholder meeting,
Feb 2014
Is Apple’s blind access policy because of ethics?
28. “When we work on
making our devices
accessible by the
blind,
I don't consider the
ROI.”
Tim Cook, Apple Shareholder meeting,
Feb 2014
Or because of legal pressures?
29. “When we work on
making our devices
accessible by the
blind,
I don't consider the
ROI.”
Tim Cook, Apple Shareholder meeting,
Feb 2014
Or part of Apple’s innovation strategy…?
30. Apple CarPlay based on Voiceover (designed for blind people)
and Siri (initially designed for people with motor impairments)…
31. For those without the cash reserves of Apple,
ROI is the best long-term driver by far…
37. 2Evidence of maturing in…
redefining the aim, from
“tick-box accessibility”
to inclusive design
38. BBC MMX
BBC view: what accessibility used to be…
• all about guidelines
• techies trying to code to them
• then trying to test with screenreaders
• maybe a bit of testing with real people… if you’re lucky
39. BBC MMX
BBC view: what accessibility really should be…
• all about disabled people
• it’s not about accessibility…
or even usability…
it’s about a great user experience for disabled people
• whether they can get the right value out of what we create
• exactly like we aim for, for every other audience
• so that includes enjoyment and fun
42. “The fundamental requirements for website accessibility, for disabled people, have been
under discussion for years and can be summarised on a single side of A4:
1. Default display of the website to first time users that accommodates the
maximum number of people, especially with reference to fonts, font sizes, colours
and large accessibility, “buttons”. It is anticipated that this will include, at a
minimum:
a. Arial 18 point 75% dark grey type (as per current Microsoft Word definition)
force left aligned with jagged right margin on a light pastel blue background
default, with a
b. A large button, big enough for people with only 5% vision to see easily, to switch to
high contrast alternatives at the top of the screen.
c. A second large button, identical to the one above except with a high contrast boundary
and low contrast filling (on the same lines as a. above) for those who are both partially
sighted and have scotopic sensitivity.
d. A specific button for one of the most common types of colour sensitivity needs (as in
a. except 75% brown type on a dark yellow background).”
And not about losing the other 80% by doing so…
43. Inclusive design is now in standards:
http://www.hassellinclusion.com/bs8878/
44. And in site guidelines:
https://www.gov.uk/designprinciples
And being consumed by a wide community:
http://www.creativebloq.com/netmag/10-principles-inclusive-web-design-
5116989
45. “The majority of people… will find BS8878 a far more
accessible document than the W3C's technical guidelines, and
provides a framework that goes beyond a list of technical
design requirements.
BS8878 emphasises, and this is important, that simply
complying with the WCAG guidelines is unlikely to meet the
requirements of the Equality Act. As BS8878 explains,
organisations can't simply carry out an automated tick box
check of the HTML, but instead need to user test the site or app
itself to ensure that it actually is accessible.”
Martin Sloan, Legal Associate in the Technology, Information
and Outsourcing Group at Brodies LLP
Also recommended by UK legal experts…
48. Which of these two had most control of the product definition?
49. BS 8878 clarifies: the accessibility of web products
is in all these people’s hands…
