+ | == 12 categories == | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Utilities === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A person may for personal or financial reasons not have full access to modern society's common amenities including power/electricity, internet, telephone, mobile phone, heat, hot water, etc... they may also have some amenities such as power and internet or mobile data services but it may be limited or cost-prohibitively expensive to the point it needs to be rationed or only used sparingly at specific times, page loads should thus be small and fast; in general, there should be alternate ways to provide service to these customers as well. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Literacy & Numeracy === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ability to read and understand textual information on a screen or printed material, as well as issues that can arise for folks who have trouble reading text when layered on top of images or with insufficient spacing, color contrasts, etc - literacy in Canada is typically measured by levels ranging from 1 (illiterate) to 3 (basic literacy required to function independently in society) to 5 (highly proficient and capable of critical analysis); equally important to reading itself are "numerical literacy" considerations, as some folks may be perfectly capable of reading text but not of processing numbers, statistics, doing basic mathematics, or, may lack financial literacy in terms of sensibly managing their own money or the money of others in their household. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Cognitive === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Reading comprehension, mental barriers to learning, or even cognitive realization of how one is expected to interact with a given screen or experience (checkout flow, registration/signup flow, login/logout flow, regular usage, etc) could be an issue, as could memory and information retention (or not remembering how to perform a task or processing/understanding the information that was successfully read or result of an action that was taken); problem-solving skills also fall into this category, which could be problematic for any of the more complex UI/UX expectations thrust upon the user. | ||

+ | |||
+ | === Tactile === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Having an inability or challenge to control the common Human Computer Interface (HCI) and related peripheral devices could be reduced, this includes a mouse/keyboard (for Desktop computers), directional pad and/or QWERT or numerical keys (for legacy or basic Mobile devices), or increasingly, on-screen/virtual keyboards and touch-based controls for Smartphones and Mobile Tablet-type devices (which introduce their own "fat finger" potential design issues), lastly there are those who can use none of the above and require a special stylus or pointing device for instance sometimes even using their mouth or feet to point rather than hands. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Vision === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Not just full blindness, this category also includes "partially sighted" (legal blindness but still some vision at high zooms), "reduced vision" (near/far-sightedness), color-blindness, and similar categories of vision disabilities... Braille for print or Screen Readers for digital are the most common tools, and we to need to ensure compatibility of these assistive technologies with our systems. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Hearing === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Inability or challenges to be able ot hear information in an audio delivery format such as a radio ad, podcast, music player, video, spoken word, presentations, phone calls, tele-confernces, etc.... correctly sequenced/timed captions should be provided for native language speakers with such issues, subtitles may need to be required for foreign or second language speakers, transcripts with timestamps can also help cover all folks' needs and have the added benefit of Search Engine Optimization and improved content discoverability. Sign language may be a requirement. | ||

+ | <ref>Do All Deaf People Use Sign Language?: https://www.accessibility.com/blog/do-all-deaf-people-use-sign-language</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Speech === | ||
+ | |||
+ | When intentionally designing Voice controls, there are those persons whom have a Speech impediment, disorder of the Vocal folds or throat, or other Speaking disabilities whom need special textual or audio representations for Voice controls to be usable in an accessible manner while interacting with a given system. This can pose a real challenge, so having a baseline experience that doesn't require complex vocal interaction can be a key design area to focus on whenever speech-related controls are intended to be used. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Physical & Mobility === | ||
+ | |||
+ | As with any of the other categories these could be permanent (lifelong conditions, chronic illnesses) or temporary (injury which a person is recovering from or situational due to physical location/environment); just as building designers particularly need to think about wheelchair accessibility, as well as use of canes, walkers and other assisted mechanisms (bathroom/elevator emergency bells, hand-rails, safety barriers, curb heights & cuts, etc) or accommodate guided helpers (two-person hallways/doorways, seeing eye-dogs or other comfort/therapy animals, etc) software designers need to think about physical limitations that could impede use of a digital product/service. In addition, there are many mobility disabilities which could factor into accessibility concerns including one's ability to sit at a desk, angle one's head/neck/eyes and/or arms, those who may be bed-ridden; there are many in these groups and others whom need to use Voice controls, such as Speech-To-Text (STT) and/or Text-To-Speech (TTS) to control their screen rather than a keyboard, mouse and/or mobile device touch interface. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Vestibular === | ||
+ | |||
+ | This category of disorders and personal challenges include seizures, migraines & disorientation or dizziness caused by any combination or isolated instance of flashing lights, suddenly changing color schemes, or, even basic animation motion trails and seemingly harmless "stylistic transitions" between screens or displayed sections; so these must be capable of being toggled on/off or permanently disabled via personalized settings; pausing/deactivation controls should also be available without a login/account requirement for things like auto-scrolling feeds, auto-transitioning carousels, carousel slide animations and other page-level or component-level transitions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Vestibular Disorders''' and those who can become triggered into seizures are the major health concern here, but there are also simply those who do not like such "special effects" (or for whom it makes the content harder to read/understand or makes them dizzy, confused or otherwise uncomfortable); so we should respect their preferences and offer them an experience without such effects. The current way to communicate a preference not to be shown animations and related effects is the CSS3 markup "@prefers-reduced-motion". | ||

+ | |||
+ | === Device & Screen === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A person may have a very old device and for financial or personal reasons be unwilling or unable to upgrade or replace that device, what is the lowest common experience we can guarantee to all such users? (perhaps it could be a bit better than "please get a new device and/or upgrade your browser" message); similarly, a person may have a smaller or less than optimal screen size or resolution available for displaying digital content, may be unable to view their screen due to viewing angles, reflections, lighting conditions, cracks/damage to screen, etc... so some baseline experience must be preserved, and on touch-enabled screens good UI/UX around "fat fingering must be followed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Location === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A person might not be able to access a given physical retail location or other facility, and needs a close proxy user experience via a combination of other medium (web and/or mobile typically being the first choice, packaged/offline software being another digital option). Traditionally companies are often also expected to ensure any service offered can also potentially be provided by telephone, email, chat, print materials, guided in-person help or traveling kiosks or customer service representatives that come to given neighbourhoods (not necessarily all of these for every offering, but a strategic combination to cover users' needs). | ||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | === Timing === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A person may not be able to complete a given task within an alotted amount of time, or, on the flip side for those without blocking disabilities an otherwise "fully-abled" person may still not be able to access a physical or even digital service at a specific time (i.e. "get your purchase in before draw break") this could include workers stuck on the "night shift", those in remote areas with no internet access, temporarily out of mobile service area, etc. | ||

WCAG
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (commonly abbreviated WCAG) is part of a series of accessibility guidelines, including the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) and the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG)[1][2].
importance of the content | A | AA | AAA | A | AA | AAA |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

(closed) audio description | X | X | X | X* | X | X |
full text alternative | X* | X | ||||
sign language | X |
- A = Priority 1, Web developers must satisfy these requirements, otherwise it will be impossible for one or more groups to access the Web content. Conformance to this level is described as A.
- AA = Priority 2, Web developers should satisfy these requirements, otherwise some groups will find it difficult to access the Web content. Conformance to this level is described as AA or Double-A.
- AAA = Priority 3, Web developers may satisfy these requirements, in order to make it easier for some groups to access the Web content. Conformance to this level is described as AAA or Triple-A.
- Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) 1.0: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/
POUR principles
In addition to the specific multimedia accessibility techniques, WCAG defines defines four key principles of accessibility:
- Perceivable - Information can be presented in different ways; for example, in braille, different text sizes, text-to-speech, or symbols, etc.
- Operable - Functionality can be used in different modalities; for example, keyboard, mouse, sip-and-puff, speech input, touch, etc.
- Understandable - Information and functionality is understandable; for example consistent navigation, simple language, etc.
- Robust - Content can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of browsers, media players, and assistive technologies.
There are currently two stable versions of WCAG that are both supported by W3C:
WCAG 2.0 was published in December 2008, and has become widely adopted as the standard for web accessibility by many businesses and governments around the world. It defines 12 Guidelines under the four POUR principles. Under each Guideline there are more specific Success Criteria divided into three Conformance Levels: A, AA, and AAA. WCAG 2.0 defines 61 Success Criteria.
WCAG 2.1 was published in June 2018, to better address accessibility for people with cognitive and learning disabilities, people with low vision, and people with disabilities using mobile devices. WCAG 2.1 is fully backward compatible with WCAG 2.0, so that if your content conforms to WCAG 2.1 it also conforms to WCAG 2.0. WCAG 2.1 defines 13 Guidelines and 78 Success Criteria.

12 categories
Utilities
A person may for personal or financial reasons not have full access to modern society's common amenities including power/electricity, internet, telephone, mobile phone, heat, hot water, etc... they may also have some amenities such as power and internet or mobile data services but it may be limited or cost-prohibitively expensive to the point it needs to be rationed or only used sparingly at specific times, page loads should thus be small and fast; in general, there should be alternate ways to provide service to these customers as well.
Literacy & Numeracy
Ability to read and understand textual information on a screen or printed material, as well as issues that can arise for folks who have trouble reading text when layered on top of images or with insufficient spacing, color contrasts, etc - literacy in Canada is typically measured by levels ranging from 1 (illiterate) to 3 (basic literacy required to function independently in society) to 5 (highly proficient and capable of critical analysis); equally important to reading itself are "numerical literacy" considerations, as some folks may be perfectly capable of reading text but not of processing numbers, statistics, doing basic mathematics, or, may lack financial literacy in terms of sensibly managing their own money or the money of others in their household.
Cognitive
Reading comprehension, mental barriers to learning, or even cognitive realization of how one is expected to interact with a given screen or experience (checkout flow, registration/signup flow, login/logout flow, regular usage, etc) could be an issue, as could memory and information retention (or not remembering how to perform a task or processing/understanding the information that was successfully read or result of an action that was taken); problem-solving skills also fall into this category, which could be problematic for any of the more complex UI/UX expectations thrust upon the user.
[49] [50] [51]y [52] [53] [54]
Tactile
Having an inability or challenge to control the common Human Computer Interface (HCI) and related peripheral devices could be reduced, this includes a mouse/keyboard (for Desktop computers), directional pad and/or QWERT or numerical keys (for legacy or basic Mobile devices), or increasingly, on-screen/virtual keyboards and touch-based controls for Smartphones and Mobile Tablet-type devices (which introduce their own "fat finger" potential design issues), lastly there are those who can use none of the above and require a special stylus or pointing device for instance sometimes even using their mouth or feet to point rather than hands.
Vision
Not just full blindness, this category also includes "partially sighted" (legal blindness but still some vision at high zooms), "reduced vision" (near/far-sightedness), color-blindness, and similar categories of vision disabilities... Braille for print or Screen Readers for digital are the most common tools, and we to need to ensure compatibility of these assistive technologies with our systems.
Hearing
Inability or challenges to be able ot hear information in an audio delivery format such as a radio ad, podcast, music player, video, spoken word, presentations, phone calls, tele-confernces, etc.... correctly sequenced/timed captions should be provided for native language speakers with such issues, subtitles may need to be required for foreign or second language speakers, transcripts with timestamps can also help cover all folks' needs and have the added benefit of Search Engine Optimization and improved content discoverability. Sign language may be a requirement.

When intentionally designing Voice controls, there are those persons whom have a Speech impediment, disorder of the Vocal folds or throat, or other Speaking disabilities whom need special textual or audio representations for Voice controls to be usable in an accessible manner while interacting with a given system. This can pose a real challenge, so having a baseline experience that doesn't require complex vocal interaction can be a key design area to focus on whenever speech-related controls are intended to be used.
Physical & Mobility
As with any of the other categories these could be permanent (lifelong conditions, chronic illnesses) or temporary (injury which a person is recovering from or situational due to physical location/environment); just as building designers particularly need to think about wheelchair accessibility, as well as use of canes, walkers and other assisted mechanisms (bathroom/elevator emergency bells, hand-rails, safety barriers, curb heights & cuts, etc) or accommodate guided helpers (two-person hallways/doorways, seeing eye-dogs or other comfort/therapy animals, etc) software designers need to think about physical limitations that could impede use of a digital product/service. In addition, there are many mobility disabilities which could factor into accessibility concerns including one's ability to sit at a desk, angle one's head/neck/eyes and/or arms, those who may be bed-ridden; there are many in these groups and others whom need to use Voice controls, such as Speech-To-Text (STT) and/or Text-To-Speech (TTS) to control their screen rather than a keyboard, mouse and/or mobile device touch interface.
Vestibular
This category of disorders and personal challenges include seizures, migraines & disorientation or dizziness caused by any combination or isolated instance of flashing lights, suddenly changing color schemes, or, even basic animation motion trails and seemingly harmless "stylistic transitions" between screens or displayed sections; so these must be capable of being toggled on/off or permanently disabled via personalized settings; pausing/deactivation controls should also be available without a login/account requirement for things like auto-scrolling feeds, auto-transitioning carousels, carousel slide animations and other page-level or component-level transitions.
Vestibular Disorders and those who can become triggered into seizures are the major health concern here, but there are also simply those who do not like such "special effects" (or for whom it makes the content harder to read/understand or makes them dizzy, confused or otherwise uncomfortable); so we should respect their preferences and offer them an experience without such effects. The current way to communicate a preference not to be shown animations and related effects is the CSS3 markup "@prefers-reduced-motion".

Device & Screen
A person may have a very old device and for financial or personal reasons be unwilling or unable to upgrade or replace that device, what is the lowest common experience we can guarantee to all such users? (perhaps it could be a bit better than "please get a new device and/or upgrade your browser" message); similarly, a person may have a smaller or less than optimal screen size or resolution available for displaying digital content, may be unable to view their screen due to viewing angles, reflections, lighting conditions, cracks/damage to screen, etc... so some baseline experience must be preserved, and on touch-enabled screens good UI/UX around "fat fingering must be followed.
Location
A person might not be able to access a given physical retail location or other facility, and needs a close proxy user experience via a combination of other medium (web and/or mobile typically being the first choice, packaged/offline software being another digital option). Traditionally companies are often also expected to ensure any service offered can also potentially be provided by telephone, email, chat, print materials, guided in-person help or traveling kiosks or customer service representatives that come to given neighbourhoods (not necessarily all of these for every offering, but a strategic combination to cover users' needs).
- "Everyone Welcome" guide: https://www.acs.org.uk/sites/default/files/acs_everyone_welcome_guide_-_tagged.pdf
Timing
A person may not be able to complete a given task within an alotted amount of time, or, on the flip side for those without blocking disabilities an otherwise "fully-abled" person may still not be able to access a physical or even digital service at a specific time (i.e. "get your purchase in before draw break") this could include workers stuck on the "night shift", those in remote areas with no internet access, temporarily out of mobile service area, etc.
Diversity & Inclusion
Concerns "Accessible employment" and workplace inclusivity (equal participation & opportunities).

Motion preferences
A number of people may suffer from permanent/chronic, temporary/resolvable or situational/environmental issues around motion, flicker and related content changes (often categorized as "Vestibular Disorders"). These could be triggered through:
- content animations
- moving, growing or shrinking pictures/text
- strobing effects
- sudden color changes
- screen transitions

Keyboard Accessibility defines the ability to use a standard or custom (i.e. Braille, RSI positioned keys, etc) keyboard input device rather than any other HCI peripheral device (such as mouse, stylus, finger/touch, voice, etc) to interact with a given Website, WebApp, Desktop App or Mobile App.
When verifying "Keyboard Accessibility" you should check that:
- 'Tab to all - users can tab to all the active elements including links, form fields, buttons, and a media player control.
- Tab away - users can tab away from (out of) all elements that can be tabbed into.
- Tab order - the tab order follows the logical reading order according to the language on the page.
- Visual focus - the focus is clearly visible as users tab through the elements, and users can tell if navigating away to another application or tab upon returning, precisely which element has focus at any point in time.
- Functionality - users can do everything with the keyboard. That is you don't need to use a mouse to activate actions options, visible changes, and other functionality.
- Drop-downs - after users tab to a drop-down list using the arrow keys to move through the options without triggering another action.
- Image links - when images are links they have clear & visible focus and they can be activated using the keyboard.
The following table shows some common keyboard shortcuts and keymap conventions:

Touch Target
Minimum sizes for interactive areas are needed to prevent an inability to trigger required events or operate controls in the desired manner (aka. "Fat Fingering"). Most "Mobile design guidelines" encourage practices to prevent any issues here such as 32px padding on either side of any button or link, and use of labels tied to input fields within forms that cause the correct corresponding field to become in focus.
Accessibility Overlays
"Accessibility Overlays" are bolt-on solutions that attempt to "embed" accessibility features and options into an inaccessible or incompletely accessible website or mobile app with many or a specific few unfixed access barriers of certain types. While these can be slightly better than doing nothing, they are no substitute for building a fully accessible experience and often fall far short of primary accessibility and risk (lawsuit exposure, customer churn) reduction goals. Studies have shown that it is always better to "bake accessibility in" from the beginning.
The following issues aren't fully covered by Overlays (and can sometimes be worsened or made more confusing by having the extra layer):
- Unlabeled/mislabeled form fields
- Zoom disabled
- Minimum width
- Use of layout tables
- Ambiguous anchor text links
- Images of text
- Focus order
- Alt text[166][167]
- Consistent identification
- Keyboard only usage
- Error prevention
- Error suggestions
- Keyboard traps
- Incorrect heading structure
- Missing links
- No input change
- Parsing
- Misidentified language
- Closed captions
- Locked display orientation

Accessible Procurements
"A chain's only as strong as its weakest link". This is true of organizations and their products/services as well. If you've done all the hard work to make your own products/services fully accessible, but integrate with vendors that don't understand the importance of and prioritize accessibility properly, do accessibility testing with folks from various accessibility backgrounds, and regularly audit their own product/services, then you may still end up with an inaccessible product/service in the end.
