This talk was presented at the San Diego Accessibility Meetup on August 1, 2022. It explains the basics of affordances, signifiers, cognitive load, and how we can design to reduce the effort needed by our customers to understand and use our products. This also includes updated information on Long COVID and why we need to focus more of our attention on cognitive accessibilty.
Inclusive Design for cognitive disabilities, neurodiversity, and chronic illnessTed Drake
Learn how to design for people with short term memory loss, problems focusing on a task, struggling with anxiety, and dealing with chronic pain. This presentation will introduce you to the people you need to include in your designs. You will also have clear action items for inclusive design.
UCD15 Talk - Julie Kennedy & Lucy Scott - Designing for Our Future SelvesUCD UK Ltd
How do we design for the older generation? This group is often ignored in the development of new products, despite many over 55s having ample money and time to invest in the latest technologies
Learn what you need to consider in your research and design process to create usable products for older users. We will look at some of the cognitive and physical changes associated with aging and consider how these impact on use of products and technologies.
Technology can also be a huge enabler for older users – we will also look at some products in market or development which are helping elders stay independent and healthy for longer.
We’ll demonstrate all this with some real life examples from user research and end on a great video.
A personal practical view on how to improve the performance of PD Diagnosed employees to prolong their work life. From legal, dietary, and physical advice to the adoption of modern technology and tactics to overcome physical challenges. A late amendment to include a Microsoft genius see slide 19 for details.

In this presentation by Lucid Smart Pill we discuss the limitations of the working memory. Cognitive Load refers to the amount of brain power required to learn new information, solve a problem or complete a task. Reducing or minimising cognitive load will help people solve problems or perform tasks more with more ease & less strain, usually resulting in more desirable outcomes.

You can’t promote or get credit for your ideas.
You miss out on the visibility and exposure of presenting at conferences.
You (statistically) will earn less and be promoted less than colleagues with better public speaking skills.
But don’t panic! You *can* learn in this fun, fast-paced workshop.
In this session, attendee’s will learn:
The 3 Ps (Planning, Preparing, Performing).
How to figure out the parameters of a presentation (audience, etc.).
How to focus your topic and limit your ideas.
How to build logical structure.
How to use hooks, anecdotes, and segues.
How to work with the audience.

Introduce Trauma-Informed Design to Your Organization - CSUN ATC 2024Ted Drake
Historically, accessibility specialists focused on a narrow set of disabilities. We focused on the senses, such as sight, sound, and touch. We focused on abilities, like hearing, movement, and seeing.
We expanded to include cognitive, mental health, and neurodiversity. This is significant. We now have tools to build inclusive products and services for an estimated 25% of the population. What about the other 75%?
As accessibility professionals, we understand unique experiences and needs. We are best equipped to expand customer research and design at our companies. Universal design was described as a one size fits all solution. Inclusive design is one size fits one. Intersectional design is one size fits one, but also accounts for price, texture, availability, cultural appropriateness, and more.
This presentation introduces the next layer of inclusive design; one that recognizes trauma.
Trauma-Informed Design (TID) started in education, health, and community spaces. It focuses on the person’s experiences, recognizing trauma’s impact, anxiety, and restoring personal control. Architects embraced TID to develop spaces that are comfortable instead of confrontive.
While the earlier stages of TID focused on individualized experiences, we can still take the principles and apply them to web and mobile application design. This is especially critical for emerging AI powered experiences where transparency and collective understanding are rarely considered.
Transforming Accessibility one lunch at a tiime - CSUN 2023Ted Drake
Try to remember March 2020. The COVID epidemic was raging and businesses sent everyone home to work remotely. Ted Drake and Sagar Barbhaya were at the 2020 CSUN ATC conference. Returning to our homes, we wondered if we could continue the energy and curiosity found at a conference, only transforming it for a virtual work environment. The following week, we launched Intuit’s Zoom-based Accessibility Lunch and Learn series. It was an experiment planned to last only a few weeks. We reached out to our Accessibility Champion network and quickly arranged daily lectures, mostly based on presentations already given at onboarding and other training events. As the epidemic grew, we turned inward and focused less on accessibility and more on our mental health, living with a disability, and celebrating our diversity. The key transformation came with a talk about sobriety in the workplace. The speaker’s courage to discuss her journey led to heartfelt conversations about mental health, the loss of community, and the struggle where colleagues were trying to encourage hope with “happy hours” and alcohol-related team building activities. This presentation led to immediate improvements in our workplace language and pandemic policies. It also showed a lunch and learn was more than a lecture. It could be the community we were aching for. With more than 100 presentations and thousands of participants, we continue to learn something new every week.

Automated accessibility testing can greatly improve the product experience by empowering developers and designers to eliminate repetitive, mundane errors and focus on the challenging and interesting elements. This presentation focuses on the customer experience and how it can be improved by using automated testing throughout the software development cycle.
Ask any accessibility leader about accessible colors and they’ll wince from the pain of struggling for a solution. Why is it so difficult to ensure your product meets WCAG 2.1 AA color contrast requirements? Ted Drake, Intuit’s Global Accessibility Leader, will explain the basics of color accessibility requirements. He will also talk about the conflict of overlapping requirements, dealing with brand colors, using color to denote hierarchy of information, and instances where adequate contrast impedes readability. You will have a better understanding of why accessible color usage is a journey and strategies for making continual progress.

This presentation is for the Hello A11y conference celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2020. It introduces how artificial intelligence and machine learning is being used in assistive technology for people with disabilities.
Expand your outreach with an accessibility champions program Ted Drake
Expand your accessibility outreach by creating an accessibility champion program. This presentation was created for the CSUN 20 conference and includes how Intuit and other companies structure their champion program and what you can expect.
Intuit's Accessibility Champion Program - Coaching and Celebrating Ted Drake
This presentation was created for the Accessibility Online webinar series. It explains the goal of Intuit's Accessibility Champion program and explains the steps and successes of this program. The presentation will help you set up a similar problem at your company. Get the full details at this article: http://www.last-child.com/intuits-accessibility-champion-program/
This presentation was created for the Rotary Club of San Francisco to highlight research being done today for assistive technology and how it could appear in mainstream products and services in the future.
Inclusive customer interviews make it your friday taskTed Drake
Customer research has been a core part of Intuit from the earliest days of the company. In the 1980’s Intuit engineers would hang out at computer stores to find people buying Quicken software and ask if they could follow them home to watch their installation process to learn
about pain points and opportunities. Kurt Walecki, Intuit VP of Design, described the importance:
From the very beginning, Intuit has done user research both to understand how customers are using their current products and to identify customers’ unmet needs, allowing them to introduce new products to the market to satisfy them.
Every product and team at Intuit uses customer research and interviews to design and build products and new functionality. Intuit’s use of Lean Startup includesthe mantra “fall in love with
the problem, not the solution”
.
The goal is to understand the customer’s pain points and missed opportunities first, expand on the problem, build prototypes, continually review with the customer to test solutions, and then promote it to a product feature. This customer focus ensures the product grows with useful features and doesn’t bloat with unnecessary technology.
Coaching and Celebrating Accessibility ChampionsTed Drake
Accessibility is
extremely
impor
t
ant
when it comes to developing applications. It is the
right of every customer to get the same experience when they interact with a product and
disability is something t
hat should never come in the way.
Engineers are the folks
responsible for making this hap
pen and hence it is extremely important for them to
be
motivated and passionate around this technology. Let us learn how Intuit does this.
Accessibility statements and resource publishing best practices csun 2019Ted Drake
Accessibility features, products and services are of limited benefit if
consumers do not know
what is available, or how to access and use them. Companies that have taken the step of
creating a website focused on accessibility are reaching out to users who need that
information. Knowing the essential components to provide a sup
portive and positive
experience for users with disabilities will enable companies to develop or improve their
accessibility websites.
Intuit is in the process of developing an acc
essibility statement and resource center.
Rather
than reinvent the wheel, decided to research what other technology, e
-
commerce, finance,
transportation, and educational companies have done to see what works and what does not.
Raising Accessibility Awareness at IntuitTed Drake
This presentation was given for the Bay Area Accessibility and Inclusive Design Meetup group to share Intuit's journey to expand accessibility education and ownership.
Matt May tweeted an observation in 2016 introducing Trickle-Down Accessibility and recognized prioritizing our blind customers could lead to less support for others.
Focusing on screen reader accessibility has distinct advantages for product developers. If your application works with a screen reader, it should also be usable with a keyboard, voice recognition, and switch control devices. Screen reader accessibility also falls in line with automated testing tools.
However, there are many disabilities, and assistive technologies, that are not necessarily benefited by this focus on the blind/low-vision community. Color contrast, closed captioning, readability, consistency in design, user customization, session timeouts, and animation distraction are just a few examples of concerns that often go unaddressed.

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:

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

5. Gareth Ford Williams (BBC, Ab11y, Design Leader)
Cognitively I think I am still struggling. I'm definitely not as sharp as I was 2 years ago.
Design flaws and issues that I would I would have expected me to spot
quickly and work-through, I am still spotting them, but not as quickly and
designing solutions or research methodologies. It‘s definitely a lot harder
than it used to be.
I'm still capable, just a lot slower, which can be frustrating.
It's funny though because trying to remember the me from 2 years ago is becoming
increasingly more difficult...
6. Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and PTSD
"Knowing how terrible it makes you feel and not knowing when all of this
will end or what will happen to you next is the most terrifying part of this
illness," she told Business Insider. "We are the guinea pigs. We are the ones
that have to figure it out for everyone else. I have never felt so alone or
scared."

- 30% diagnosed with neurological or psychological symptoms
- Many long COVID patients report dismissive attitudes by medical
providers, which can make seeking care—whether psychological or
physical—even more challenging
10. Affordance:
Affordances represent the multitude of possibilities
available to any person or animal in their environment.
Perceived Affordance:
Perceived affordances describe the relationships that
actors perceive within an environment.
11. False affordance
An element in the digital space affords something else that is
unexpected — like turning on your lights instead of the TV with the TV
remote – or no action at all.
12. Signifiers
A "signifier" is some sort of indicator, some signal in
the physical or social world, that can be interpreted
meaningfully.
13. Affordance and Signifier
The doors have the affordance of
opening in one direction.
Each side has different shaped
handles.
● Which signifier suggests a pull
direction?
● Which signifier suggests a push
direction?
What if they were switched?
15. “As a rule, people don’t like to puzzle over things.
They enjoy puzzles in their place– when they want to
be entertained or diverted or challenged– but not
when they’re trying to find out what time their dry
cleaner closes.”
–Steve Krug, Don’t Make Me Think
17. When technology communicates and behaves well,
it enables you to do what you want to, on your terms.
It communicates in ways that allow you to focus, and
achieve the level of concentration you need to accomplish a
task.
- Respecting Focus: A behavior guide for Intelligent Systems
(Microsoft)
18. Cognitive Load
Cognitive load is the amount of working memory or short-term memory
someone is using.
Minimizing the cognitive load it takes to use your product or service
makes it more accessible for people with cognitive disabilities.
19. How can we improve the product experience?
● Simple instead of Complex
● Easy to understand content.
● Which content actually serves a purpose. Leave out all the rest.
● Intuit’s readability target is 5th to 8th grade.
● Use videos and illustrations to support content
● Clear affordances and signifiers
● Use headings and lists to make content scannable
● Consistent layout
● Label icons with visible text
● Don’t Make Me Think
20.
21. Design for Short Term Memory
● Focus on Recognition instead of Recall
● Highlight what the user clicks on
● Provide tools that aid in decision making
● Have the system do some of the work for the user
● Response time must be fast
● Change the color of visited links
● Provide help in context instead of external resource

Norman Doors are doors that defy expectations, should I push, pull, slide, or twist? The confusion is caused by the affordance (push or pull) not matching the signifier (door handle that implies the direction).
