Simplifying Mobile Accessibility

Date & Time

Thursday, March 21, 2024 - 4:20 PM PDT  

Location

Orange County 3-4  

Description

One of the things that companies get wrong is treating Mobile Accessibility the same as Web Accessibility. It's a natural assumption! However, the reality is that Mobile Development Teams and Web Development Teams face dramatically different challenges in developing accessible products. In this session we will discuss the reasons for this from a business strategy perspective, a legal perspective, and a development team's perspective, and how these relate and how the challenges faced at each stage are different, by citing stats, examples, and stories from my years of experience with the discipline. Finally, we will close with advice for those organizations that have the painful job of caring deeply about both!
