SXSW 2019
Accessible or SUX, It's Your Choice!
Description:
You made a thing. A digital thing! That's great. But, is it accessible to all? People with disabilities are shut out of our apps, services, and sites on a daily basis. Often, as UX teams building awesome digital things, we don't realize that our users' experience is only some users' experience and that SUX. This session will highlight accessibility user stories and use cases to first enlighten, and then inform us what we can do to ensure our work is inclusive to all. Robert will dive into common accessibility pitfalls via real-world examples and help attendees understand both broad concepts and specific tasks that each person can put into practice immediately.
