@aral @daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag We can’t just say its for “special needs”. When I’m half asleep and trying to use a hotel shower..
@bernardtyers Exactly. I didn’t want to do a three-tweet salvo but yes; we too can have special needs…+@daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag
@aral @daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag Well, I did it for you. You owe me 2 tweets.
@bernardtyers They’re in the mail ;)+@daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag
@aral @daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag Try carrier pigeon. It’ll get here faster.
@bernardtyers Yeah, about the carrier pigeon… tragic story… +@daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag
@aral @bernardtyers @laut3rry @laurakalbag only has one wing and you wouldn't pay the air fare. #AccessibilityFail!
@aral @daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag accessibility is leaving no one behind
@jalbertbowdenii Ideally, yes. In practice we must pick our audiences or we cannot design. +@daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag
@aral Plus, if accessibility is done right, not only those with special needs benefit - but all of us. @daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag
@aral @daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag User empathy is understanding that accessibility is usability the same thing.
@aral @daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag The person trying to use her smartphone on the street with 4 shopping bags, has special needs.
@aral @daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag I have special needs. The drunk guy trying to rent a Boris Bike & can’t use the machine has needs.
@aral @daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag Everyone has special needs at different times of the day/their life.
@aral @laut3rry @laurakalbag I suppose that depends on your scope of accessibility. Eg colour blindess is easily dealt with but != usable
@aral @daviddixon @laut3rry @laurakalbag The problem is Aral, whats the definition of special needs? Everyone has special needs.
