        Day 6# Learn about assistive technologies and share one you loved (hardware)     • Assistive technology is any device, software, or equipment that helps people work around their challenges. • Some examples of assistive technology are text-to-speech and word prediction. • Assistive technology includes low-tech tools, too, like pencil grips. Sip-and-Puff Systems Sip-and-puff systems are used by students who have mobility challenges, such as paralysis and fine motor skill disabilities. These systems allow for control of a computer, mobile device, or some other technological application by the child moving the device with his or her mouth. Similar to a joystick, the child can move the controller in any direction and click on various navigational tools using either a sip or a puff. An on-screen keyboard allows the child to type using the same movements. Sip-and-puff systems are a type of switch device, which refers to the technology used to replace...

Day 5# 30 days of Accessibility testing Day#5 Read the 12 guidelines of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0.) Write a short post on one of them    The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (known as WCAG 2.1) are an internationally recognized set of recommendations for improving web accessibility. They explain how to make digital services, websites, and apps accessible to everyone, including users with impairments to their: • vision - like severely sight impaired (blind), sight impaired (partially sighted) or color blind people • hearing - like people who are deaf or hard of hearing • mobility - like those who find it difficult to use a mouse or keyboard • thinking and understanding - like people with dyslexia, autism, or learning difficulties WCAG 2.0 is based on 4 design principles: • Perceivable - Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive. • This means that users must be able to perceive the inform...

Day 4# Benefits of Inclusive design Inclusive design involves developing products, services, or environments so as many people as possible can access and use them. User-centered design techniques are an essential part of inclusive design. They make it possible to: understand the reality of people's lives. Inclusive design (also called universal design) makes places usable by everyone, regardless of age, ability, and circumstance. It is based on the simple principle that designing for the widest range of people creates better designs and benefits, everyone. No costly retrofits, happy users, and great designs. Inclusive design tools: shortcut links • Capability loss simulation. • Personas and links.

  Day 3# 30 days of the Accessibility testing  I am learning about only WAVE tool and don't have much idea about other tools. WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool)   WAVE is  a tool developed by WebAIM It is important to note that, WAVE cannot tell you if your web content is accessible; only a human can determine true accessibility. But, WAVE can help you evaluate the accessibility of your web content. WAVE is a suite of evaluation tools that helps authors make their web content more accessible to individuals with disabilities WAVE is easy to use. Using the form at https://wave.webaim.org/, simply enter a the web page address of your page and submit the form. There are also Firefox and Chrome extensions for evaluating local, dynamic, or password-protected pages and site-wide WAVE tools for easily evaluating numerous page. It performs the accessibility evaluation on browser itself and do not save anything on server Steps to verify the accessibility of the website S...

  Day2 # 30 days of accessibility testing Use a tool like WAVE to scan a web page for accessibility problems. For this challenge, I used the WAVE chrome extension to test the https://web.smartcric.com/homepage. Issues found by Wave tool Found 70 places where the color contrast between the text and background was too low. 30 ALERTS- Redundant link When adjacent links go to the same location (such as a linked product image and an adjacent linked product name that goes to the same product page) this results in additional navigation and repetition for keyboard and screen reader users. If possible, combine the redundant links into one link and remove any redundant text or alternative text (for example, if a product image and product name are in the same link, the image can usually be given alt=""). Redundant title text - The title attribute text is the same as text or alternative text. The title attribute value is used to provide advisory information. It typically appears when the...

  shushumavalaboju 👊 30 Days of Accessibility Testing Challenge Day1# 30 Day of Accessibility Testing Learn about the diversity of disabilities and the effects of aging Disabilities are of numerous kinds. A brief glance at disabilities includes but not limited to the following. Autism is widely viewed as an “epidemic” and tragedy for the family. It is complicated and is tricky to diagnose before a child reaches 24 months. The range of abilities, skills, brilliance, and need is so different for each child on the spectrum.  Some children may experience sensitivity to sensory information such as colors which can cause anxiety or pain.   High contrast helps many people to read and understand content, but some people with dyslexia, for example, suffer from contrast sensitivity meaning that black text on a white background is not necessarily the best solution. Aging brings prominent effects on the body.  Many older people have age-related impairments that can affect how ...
