Good post by Jim Nielsen about accessibility and disability. Even as an amputee, there’s days where it doesn’t limit me at all, and there’s days where it destroys me. It’s a spectrum and constantly shifting.
And Cindy’s quote has always hit hard both before and after amputation…
We’re all just temporarily abled.
The most fundamentally confusing thing about teams overlooking accessibility in software is that good accessibility is fundamentally good design. It’s not purely about inclusion—although that is certainly a key element.
It benefits everyone both directly and indirectly to varying degrees throughout our lives.
