Accessibility: Beyond Checklists and Standards

Nicole Tollefson and Phil Kragnes are recognized as experts in the field of accessibility. They will be sharing some of the highlights from a day-long tutorial they’ll be conducting at the Montreal UPA International Conference in July. For the chapter meeting we’ll only be able to scratch the surface of the topic, but the information is sure to be valuable. You’ll gain insight on how to provide truly accessible Web design through demonstrations of adaptive technology, references to case studies, and a short discussion of how disabled users approach the Web. Nicole and Phil will also highlight some issues to consider around designing for users with disabilities; such as balancing accessibility with team needs, usability, and project timelines. They’ll also briefly discuss what lessons can be transferred to other types of interface design projects.
