Our Digital Accessibility Sensei Allison Ravenhall presented at A11y Bytes Melbourne on 18 May 2017 on how many people are impacted by a lack of accessibility (Hint: It's more than you think).
The value of measuring your accessibility maturityIntopia
Slides from the webinar co-presented by Andrew Arch and Neil Jarvis in September 2023 on the value in measuring your accessibility maturity.
The webinar explored the importance of measuring your maturity, and how doing so can help you create an action plan for improving accessibility within your organisation. A recording of the webinar is available on Intopia's YouTube channel.
Did you know that an Undo button can be an accessibility feature? It is if your product is a content creation tool. Accessibility is as important for your admin and content creation tools as it is for front facing products.
If you've ever wondered what content creation features are useful to people with disabilities, or how you can help your creators to easily make more accessible content, then the ATAG (Authoring Tools Accessibility Guidelines) standard is what you need. It's a bit different than WCAG in ways that are useful for web apps and software.
Using ATAG as a guide, this talk will walk you through an accessibility features list to help refine your requirements and prioritize your backlog. The right preference settings, keyboard shortcuts and documentation in your app can help everyone build a more accessible web.
The why, when and how of including people with disability in the design processIntopia
The document discusses the importance of including people with disabilities in the design process. It notes that accessibility is driven by both legal requirements and business factors like market share, while design is driven by satisfaction, efficiency and technical compliance. Testing with people with disabilities provides important insights, improves products for all users, and catches accessibility issues earlier in the design process. The document provides recommendations for how to effectively test with people with disabilities, such as allowing extra time and the use of personal devices.
Slides from AccessU presentation presented by Sarah Pulis and Claire Webber.
Annotating designs with accessibility information is a powerful way to focus on accessibility early in the design phase, as well as communicate your accessibility requirements to developers and testers. Sarah and Claire will cover how to add accessibility annotations in components, patterns and complete wireframes using popular design tools such as Figma.
Accessible procurement: Stories from the trenchesIntopia
The document discusses lessons learned from case studies of organizations procuring digital products and services. It emphasizes that accessibility must be a priority throughout the procurement process, from initial requirements through vendor selection and ongoing assessment. Key lessons include having clear accessibility standards, evaluating vendors' compliance, ensuring internal alignment, and fostering collaborative relationships between organizations and vendors to support mutual accessibility goals. An overarching message is that process and communication are critical to achieve accessible procurement.

Designing for people with cognitive impairmentsIntopia
Slides from a presentation delivered by Andrew Arch and Sarah Pulis at the DTA Summit, November 2020.
When considering disability as part of the diversity of people we need to do research with and design for, we often only consider the more visible disabilities and impairments of vision, hearing and mobility. Cognition, often considered a 'hidden disability', can easily be overlooked. Digital design and language choices can make content inaccessible to people with cognitive and learning disabilities.
How to create a kick ass business case for accessibilityIntopia
This document provides guidance on creating a business case for accessibility. It explains that a business case evaluates the benefits, costs, and risks of options to help decision making. A successful business case is aligned with business strategy, demonstrates clear overall benefits to the organization, and is backed by evidence with executive support. The document cites data showing the size of the disability market and references research reports highlighting the costs of inaccessibility and benefits of accessibility such as increased customers, spending, and reputation as well as reduced costs. It emphasizes using data and stories to engage executives and considering everyone's motivations.
Personalised technical accessibility training: a case studyIntopia
This document summarizes an accessibility training program delivered to the Coles app team by Allison Ravenhall of Intopia. The training was delivered in multiple shorter sessions over 3 months and covered a modular syllabus of accessibility concepts, assistive technologies, development techniques, and tools. Feedback indicated the spaced out training allowed better absorption of content and engagement compared to full day sessions. Participants found the small group and one-on-one delivery helpful for asking questions. However, the reference materials were not used and some felt not enough activities were included.
Presented at the CSUN Assistive Technology conference 2020.

Using cognitive walkthroughs to better review designs for accessibilityIntopia
The document describes a process for using cognitive walkthroughs to better review designs for accessibility. A cognitive walkthrough involves an evaluator walking through tasks from the perspective of a user persona and asking questions about usability. The process involves choosing a user persona, identifying common tasks, listing the steps to complete each task, performing the walkthrough by adopting the persona and asking a series of questions, and addressing any identified problems. Benefits of cognitive walkthroughs include being task-oriented, able to be done early, and more cost effective than usability testing, but limitations include not replacing usability testing and being dependent on the evaluator's skills.
