This session is aimed at raising awareness of accessibility-related issues and engaging participants as leaders in implementing the solutions.
Inclusion By Design: Hundreds of software aids, thousands of hardware aids and a cornucopia of solutions exist to support the needs of people with disabilities. How do we ensure that people are included? Technology will be used to demonstrate the impact of having accessible and inaccessible content. Practical tips will be given on how to approach inclusion by design as well as how integrating accessibility requirements at various stages of a project and ensuring that the diverse requirements of vision, hearing, physical and cognitive user requirements can be met.
