Have recent announcements from the US federal government shifted our
focus toward the idea of "compliance" to regulations rather than
striving for a UI that includes everyone?
In this talk, we will take a look at the current state of user
interface design, present recent government initiatives and hopes to
spark conversation about universal design and get your input.
Austin UPA hosts Sharron Rush,
the co-founder and Executive Director of Knowbility, a nonprofit
organization that grew from the first Accessibility Internet Rally
(AIR) in Austin in 1998. Sharron believes strongly in the power of
technology to support the independence of people with disabilities –
and in the value of dynamic, ongoing collaboration to strengthen
communities.
