Accessibility Guidelines for the Web & Other Digital Technology John Rochford UMass Medical School World Wide Web Consortium

Topics World Wide Web Consortium & Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Digital tech usable by everyone. Why public and private Websites must be usable by people with disabilities.

Accessibility-Related Background I have built accessible Websites since the mid-1990s. Example: DisabilityInfo.org. I have a passion for cognitive Web accessibility. I conduct research in artificial- intelligence based Web text simplification on a mass scale. Accessibility-Related Background

W3C Invited Expert I am a member of: Accessibility Guidelines Working Group Cognitive Accessibility Task Force Low Vision Task Force Silver Community Group W3C Invited Expert

Definition Of Web Accessibility Everyone can use the Web, including people with disabilities.

Importance Of Web Accessibility provides equal access & opportunity helps people participate in society is required by laws and policies benefits people without disabilities

World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) An international community. Works with industry partners. Develops open standards. (HTML, CSS, XML, WCAG, etc.) Publishes Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1 2 3 4 Authoritative & Testable Accessibility Guidance 3 levels: A, AA, AAA New version 2.1! Web Accessibility Initiative home page

Web Accessibility Testing Involving People with Disabilities Easy Checks Automated Evaluation Tools (30%) Filterable List

Why Must Public Websites Be Usable? Accessible means usable by everyone. 1 in 7 people worldwide have a disability. Inaccessible Websites thus: exclude 1 in 7 customers; invite litigation; and cause problems for everyone.

Why Must Private Websites Be Usable? Vast majority of private Websites are: Thus people with disabilities: owned by employers; are inaccessible. cannot perform essential job functions; are less likely to become employed.

Accessibility Is: needed because 90% of Websites are inaccessible; essential because we all acquire disabilities as we age; simple and inexpensive from the beginning; complicated and expensive if retrofitted; and the law in many countries.

Digital Tech Usable By All: Examples Global Public Inclusive Infrastructure Closed Captioning Wayfinding Technologies Internet of Things televisions, phones, steaming media, etc. Indoor navigation for airports, public transit, etc.

Summary W3C sets accessibility standards. Compliance: is simple and inexpensive from the beginning; is being applied beyond the Web; and makes the Web more usable by everyone.
