How People With Disabilities
Use Digital Technology

00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,960
Physical Disabilities

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,080
Physical disabilities affect how people move,

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,760
including an inability to move,

5
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:14,520
limited mobility,

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,080
a lack of coordination,

7
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:18,120
tremors and involuntary movement,

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,120
pain that impedes movement,

9
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,120
as well as missing and non-typical limbs.

10
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,720
People who use a mouse might
have difficulty with fine motor control.

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,920
For example, tremors, non-typical joints,
pain, or fatigue can prevent people

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,240
from being able to select small targets,
such as small links, buttons and controls.

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,920
Websites and apps with large clickable
areas around checkboxes, radio buttons,

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,560
and other controls, are easier to use
for people with limited mobility

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,200
and reduced dexterity.

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,280
Other people use speech input instead.

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,160
While speech input uses the
keyboard interface in the background,

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,360
websites and apps that are programmed and
designed with consideration for speech input

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,720
are more effective.

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,640
For example, when the name of a button in
the code matches the name displayed visually,

21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,480
people using speech input
know what they need to say

22
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:08,600
to click that button.

23
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,520
Click send email.

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,000
Some people do not use a mouse,
touch screen, or other pointing devices.

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,080
They might use specialised
keyboards with larger keys,

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,880
or more space between the keys.

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,200
Some use tools such as a 
mouthstick or headstick to type.

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,520
Websites and apps that make functions

29
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,600
visibly clear with active focus styles

30
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,560
and usable with keyboard only

31
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,680
are easier to use for

32
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,400
people with physical disabilities.

33
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,920
Regardless of the input device used,

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,760
websites and apps that provide sufficient
time to type and to complete tasks

35
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,520
are easier to use for people
with physical disabilities

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,120
because it might take people longer
to navigate and type,

37
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,200
and to correct typing mistakes.

38
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,280
Providing clear headings and instructions

39
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,280
helps people to understand the tasks

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,280
and reduces the time
needed to complete them.

41
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,520
This includes instructions for
forms and functionality,

42
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,480
as well as error messages and dialogues.

43
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,520
Finally, websites and apps that work in

44
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,840
both portrait and landscape orientation

45
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,280
are easier to use for people

46
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,920
who have their devices mounted to their

47
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,000
wheelchair, desk, or bed.

48
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,240
You can help make technology
accessible to me.

49
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,640
Accessibility: it's about people.

50
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:18,440
