I WANT TO MAKE A MOBILE APP ACCESSIBLE TO VISUALLY IMPAIRED! REALLY?
A common myth about web accessibility is that it “Only helps visually impaired”. It’s one we hear again and again. We only want to test with screen readers.
This approach of building accessibility and inclusion for only one group at a times, is not really practical.
Let me share how I see it with a very real world example. Let’s take the example of an elevator which will be used by lots of different people with diverse needs. Imagine if we went with only one disability at a time, when we thought of accessibility. Let’s look at the needs one at a time:
