Remember that all able-bodied people are only temporarily so. Designing for accessibility improves websites for everyone- you never know when you’ll need it.
“Universal Design for Information Spaces” by Carrie Anton - Great talk with #accessibility issues demonstrated from the first hand. Make web accessibility your priority No.1! #WIADyeg#ia#productdesign
BTW the 7 principles of universal design are: 1: Equitable Use.
2: Flexibility in Use.
3: Simple and Intuitive Use.
4: Perceptible Information.
5: Tolerance for Error.
6: Low Physical Effort.
7: Size and Space for Approach and Use. More info: https://t.co/ml5j8HFwGg

Last speaker is Carrie Anton from Athabasca U. Accessibility and Universal Design has major overlap (in terms of what to consider) with IA: content, users, context. #WIADyeg
