WebAIM’s Hierarchy for Motivating Accessibility Change

My Hierarchy for Motivating Accessibility Change

Is better, no?

Getting Older

• Affects (nearly) everyone,• Carries risks and side effects,• Is not for the young.

I’m still experimenting with it.

Accidents

• Broken limbs,• Eye injuries,• Hearing injuries,• Head trauma.

All of these have happened to me, multiple times.

But I’m Invincible!

• Multi-tasking,• Sunlight,• Eating at your desk,• No headphones handy,• Content is not in your native language.

The sun is trying to kill me.

Tech Support

• Think of your family!• Think of your time spent helping them!• Think of the wasted holidays!

This is why we hate the holidays.

User Experience Models

User Stories

• Components:• User,• Outcome,• Value.

• Writing:• As user, I want outcome.• As user, I want outcome so that value.• In order to get value as user, I want outcome.

How to Write User Stories for Web Accessibility

Selfish User Stories

• As a user on a sun-lit patio, I want to be able to read the content and see the controls.

Add beer and as a user I may have trouble focusing.

Selfish User Stories

• As a user in bed with a sleeping spouse, I want to watch a training video in silence so that I can get caught up at work.

As a user who doesn’t want to get punched for having slacked off at work.

Selfish User Stories

• In order to click links as a user with no elbow room in coach class with a tiny trackpad, I want click areas to be large enough and adequately spaced.

As a user in coach class who also paid too much for the drink he’s spilling on his keyboard.

Selfish User Stories

• As a user distracted by the TV, I want clear headings and labels so that I don’t lose my place.

As a user who really should be finishing his work in the office.

Personas
