Andrew Normand writes: I would like to suggest the following changes to the Media Accessibility User Requirements: 2.5 Hard of hearing Add the following: People with cochlear implants don't have to worry about damaging their hearing because it is all artificial, but they do need to avoid media experiences that overwhelm the brain. 2.8 Cognitive and neurological disabilities Add the following: People with diseases of the central nervous system, such as MS, may lack the motor skills to click accurately on small objects or objects that are positioned too closely together. I would also like to suggest the addition of the following requirements to the Media Accessibility Checklist: (a) that media player controls are of a sufficent size to make them clickable by users with neurological disabilities and physical impairments (UX : must) (b) that media player controls have sufficient spacing to prevent input errors by users with neurological disabilities and physical impairments (UX : should) (c) that media players indicate the length of the media and the elapsed time (UX : should) (d) that media player controls allow the user to control the volume (UX : WCAG 1.4.2 : must) Andrew Andrew Normand | Web Accessibility Program Leader Online Services | Information Technology Services Room 317B, Level 3, 780 Elizabeth Street, University of Melbourne, 3010, VIC Telephone +61 3 9035 4867 | Mobile +61 0433 152 641 Email anormand@unimelb.edu.au[Description: https://wiki.unimelb.edu.au/images/icons/mail_small.gif]<mailto:anormand@unimelb.edu.au%23> [cid:53B954FE-C67D-476B-A88E-D61818EBABD3] -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.443.300.2200 sip:janina@asterisk.rednote.net Email: janina@rednote.net Linux Foundation Fellow Executive Chair, Accessibility Workgroup: http://a11y.org The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Chair, Protocols & Formats http://www.w3.org/wai/pf Indie UI http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/
