There are many daily tasks that, while trivial to most, create challenges for people with disabilities and impairments. In this project, Three common daily tasks were selected Disabilities and impairments that affect their success were identified Solutions that may assist these users were discovered and analyzed Justification ShoppingWeightPrescriptions

This project takes the form of an ADE (Accessibility Demonstration Exercise) The goal is to help students identify accessibility problems that may go unnoticed, but exist around us Justification ShoppingWeightPrescriptions

The project evaluation data was collected through participant observation. Completing the ADE Observer recorded results to answers Asked opinion of ADE videos Asked opinion of each section of the ade Results
18
Evaluation Criteria Process Evaluation Measuring success with carrying out ADE process Impact Evaluation Evaluating short term objectives Relevancy of videos, tasks, and questions Outcome Evaluation Evaluating project as a whole Opinion, Retention, Attitudes, Gained knowledge Results
19
Process Evaluation Subjects were able to: Watch the videos Install the applications Complete the questions Minor failures were found: Excessive entry with shopping app Confusion with medication app registration Results
20
Impact Evaluation Participants had mixed opinions Grocery Shopping Did not associate task as a particular solution to accessibility needs, but as a general usability tool Weight and Diet Management Information on food calorie content was interesting Prescription Management Respondents did not find the application useful, as it seemed too complicated for use by those who would need it; usable by average user, not widest range. Results

Project success is limited The larger goal of helping participants to identify accessibility issues is largely unmet by the ADE Project has some use Exposes participants to specific tools that may assist their daily routine. Project purpose To meet the requirements of the class project; an academic exercise. Conclusion & Recommendations
