The document discusses how to design online presentations to be accessible to people with a wide range of abilities. It recommends taking a universal design approach that proactively designs for all people rather than just those with disabilities. Specific tips include using captioned videos, structured text, high contrast colors, and offering multiple ways for people to engage. The document also notes that the needs of deaf/hard of hearing people are diverse and flexibility in information delivery is important. Overall it promotes accessibility practices that benefit everyone.
One of the national standards of practice for healthcare interpreters that is often misunderstood is impartiality. It’s important for students as well as experienced interpreters to understand that at times they will be requested to interpret in situations about which they may have internal conflicts. Claiming a conflict of interest in these cases is not the ideal solution, as it might decrease language access. One area in which many interpreters have very limited knowledge and experience but may have very strong personal feelings is patients who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, or those who consider themselves queer. These sessions are more challenging than they need to be if interpreters do not evaluate their own biases with regard to LGBTQIA people and do not have the appropriate knowledge and vocabulary to impartially assist this unique group of patients. Additionally, LGBTQIA individuals face significant barriers in accessing health care that are heightened when that person is also limited English proficient (LEP). This training will provide trainers a framework for incorporating LGBTQIA issues in interpreting training, including respectful vocabulary that will allow patients and their family members to feel comfortable in opening up to their healthcare provider, regardless of the situation.

UXPA2019 Enhancing the User Experience for People with Disabilities: Top 10 ...UXPA International
An estimated 1.3 billion people globally report limitations in their daily activities due to a disability. When it comes to the physical world, businesses have made progress in accommodating customers with disabilities. But in the digital world, websites lack basic accessibility features such as text alternatives describing images, proper heading level structures so individuals who are blind and use screen readers can understand the content on a webpage, or captioning for multimedia content for individuals who are deaf or are hard of hearing – let alone assistive technology for customers who have trouble using mobile devices due to dexterity limitations that arise from a variety of conditions.
In this session, attendees will:
* Understand people with disabilities (PWDs) and how they use the web
* Learn about common barriers, issues and solutions
* Discover the different testing methodologies and their interdependencies
* Uncover ROI

As Product Professionals we are told our job is to create products that either solve user problems or take advantage of opportunities. The challenge is that, during this time, this seems hard to find as new product innovations are being released every day. Are we running out of problems or opportunities? No, we have simply only been looking at the problem/opportunity from our usual viewpoint of the average user. What if we looked at it from a different lens? What if we look at people who always struggle with problems based on their environments not accommodating their unique needs? I argue, this is the gold mine of opportunity for creating innovative products. Solving the mismatches of people with disabilities will lead into innovations for your users and customers of all abilities! We will discuss the real-world examples of this, how to do it, and future market demand. We will all be disabled one day.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

How to Deliver
2. Consider ability on a continuum & not
necessarily related to disability
understand English, social norms
see the screen
hear
read print
quickly enter text
communicate verbally
tune out distractions
learn
manage physical/mental health
3. Keep in mind
Most disabilities are not obvious
to others
Most people with
disabilities do
not disclose them &
request
accommodations
4. We need a paradigm shift
from reactive to proactive design of
products & environments
from design for the “average” to
design for everyone
Once upon a time we already did it…
6. Universal design
the design of products &
environments to be usable by all
people, to the greatest extent possible,
without the need for accommodations
The Center for Universal Design
www.design.ncsu.edu/cud
7. UD applied to a presentation
Invite participants to request
disability-related accommodations.
Proactively design the presentation
to be accessible to people with a
wide range of abilities.
8. As attitude, framework, goal, & process, UD:
Values diversity, equity, & inclusion
Promotes best practices & does not lower
standards
Is proactive & can be implemented
incrementally
Serves to benefit everyone
Minimizes the need for accommodations
9. participants

who are deaf or hard of hearing
Diversity of Experience = Diversity of
Opinion
• Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) people’s needs are very diverse!
– What works for one person may not work for others
• DHH people want flexibility and a wide array of information and
communication strategies.
16. Aural perception
• Aural Perception: A bubble
• Perception is inversely
squared: Doubling distance
reduces volume by 4
