  • 2Nd Annual State of Accessibility Report May 21St, 2020
    #SOAR 2nd Annual State of Accessibility Report May 21st, 2020 There are 2.2 Billion People Worldwide with a Visual Impairment According to the World Health Organization 1 Foreword By Joe Devon, Co-Founder of Diamond and Global Accessibility Awareness Day Much has happened since we launched our 1st State of Accessibility Report. At Diamond, we had our frst full year with an accessibility practice area. We’ve learned the pain organizations & accessibility professionals face when a project revolves around compliance issues. CTOs hate losing velocity on their roadmap and increased costs as the pressure mounts on the whole organization. Happily, our DNA is a company built by software developers for software developers. We have tai- lored our oferings to how CTOs think. Rather than focus on audits that slow down development, we actually fx the bugs and help with velocity. The results of this year’s report show that the state of accessibility on the web hasn’t changed con- siderably. Diamond has again performed a manual analysis of registration, login and logout of the top Alexa websites and found improvements. By contrast, Jared Smith updates us on his seminal WebAIM Million study, which shows worse results than last year. Sharron Rush, accessibility pioneer at Knowbility, has a somewhat somber update on accessibility in the K-12 space. Lastly, it is long overdue that we fatten the curve of inequality for People with Disabilities (“PwD”). It needs to start with the developer community. We will share our plans here to move the needle with the Diamond #GAADPledge, an initiative geared at infuencing developer culture.

    Why Web Accessibility Matters for Cultural Institutions: Overview of Legal Requirements, Typical Problems, Practical Guidelines and Examples of Website Redesign A Project Access White Paper Art Beyond Sight A Project Access White Paper by Sharron Rush, co-founder and Executive Director of Knowbility, a leading authority on Web accessibility since 1998 Why Web Accessibility Matters for Cultural Institutions: Overview of Legal Requirements, Typical Problems, Practical Guidelines and Examples of Website Redesign A Project Access White Paper by Sharron Rush, co-founder and Executive Director of Knowbility, a leading authority on Web accessibility since 1998 Abstract Access to the Internet for people with disabilities is an issue that has broad implications for cultural institutions. Questions of arts inclusion, community outreach, and broad- based educational efforts can often be addressed with technology, particularly the World Wide Web. If Web-based communications are not designed with accessibility in mind, however, significant numbers of people may be left out and experience additional barriers to participation in arts and cultural activities. This paper walks through Web accessibility issues, examines existing guidelines to meet the accessibility needs of all, and provides data on the results of Web accessibility reviews of a number of cultural institutions. Issues in Web accessibility for cultural institutions Cultural institutions have a particular commitment to and responsibility for inclusion. The idea that the arts and culture enrich the lives of all people is one that is woven deeply into cultural traditions. While it is often difficult to objectively and Design flaws in most rationally evaluate the impact of the arts on the lives of people with disabilities Websites, including those through common evaluative methods, various studies offer powerful personal of cultural institutions, stories of transformation through the arts.
