There will always be some bias in research results that we can't control. But what we can do is work to minimise that bias through careful recruitment, activity design and data analysis

What can we learn from healthcare quality initiatives to help us make progress in improving the quality of the technology we rely on for our health and well-being, focusing specifically on measures related to #accessibility for people with #disabilities? https://t.co/NqyA89SFqg

“Remember, your goal with an on–off control is to make sure that users quickly understand both:
1. The current state, and
2. What will happen if they press that control”

“Decide if inclusive design is an important aspect to your software.” How is that step 1 of @microsoft’s Seven Steps for #InclusiveDesign? #Tech doesn’t decide whether it’s important that people with #disabilities can use software. It’s always important. https://t.co/IQs6gKVfia
