Starting out with a ten-minute live demo from an expert screen reader user, Samuel Proulx will introduce you to not only how they work, but the thought processes behind using the Internet with a screen reader. What are some of the most important things to take into account when attempting to construct a mental model of a screen reader user? How do these effect the way you think about designing websites and apps? How can designers learn to move beyond thinking visually, to create designs that work for everyone? After this introduction, the floor will open to your questions! If you have burning questions about how people who are blind use the Internet, or what design patterns work best and why or why not, this is your chance! Ask any question at all in an open, safe learning environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\u2022\tSession Description: Did you know that the SUS creates biases in your research, affecting one in five people? That\u2019s right! People with disabilities, especially those who use assistive technology, are not considered by most of the questions in the SUS. As a designer, this could lead to you making design decisions that don\u2019t take into account 20 percent of the visitors to your website. When the SUS was invented, the author encouraged people to change it to suit different needs. In this talk, Samuel Proulx from Fable will discuss how Fable adapted the SUS to work for assistive technology users. Drawing from over five thousand hours of research and testing involving assistive technology users, we created the Accessible Usability Scale (AUS). This presentation will include trends in AUS responses since it was released in December of 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1485,"featured_media":0,"template":"","session-theme":[],"session-type":[17],"rm-permissions":[],"event-type":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/designopssummit2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sessions\/1309"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/designopssummit2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sessions"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/designopssummit2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/sessions"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/designopssummit2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/designopssummit2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"session-theme","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/designopssummit2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/session-theme?post=1309"},{"taxonomy":"session-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/designopssummit2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/session-type?post=1309"},{"taxonomy":"rm-permissions","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/designopssummit2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rm-permissions?post=1309"},{"taxonomy":"event-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/designopssummit2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-type?post=1309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
