      introductions

Jan Jaap or JJ: android and iOS

JJ: last two years trying to apply WCAG to mobile apps – I focus on 
solutions

JJ: code examples for native apps – working on for the last two years 
trying to map between guidelines to solutions – how to fix issues, and 
that's why I decided to join this group to see if I can help with mobile

people as a matter of standard practice.

VJ: Funded by Walsh government innovation arm project access statement 
creating apps so that we can do something about the marginalization and 
terrible employment rate of Neuro- divergent people. UK 80% unemployed

design their products to be neuro- inclusive from the get-go. Hub of 
activity in the South Wales region. Naturally bilingual country

be learned in ways Wales has had to adapt to bilingualism and in many

Dark mode

JJ: problem of not using European standard, just Using WCAG but for apps 
there are additional requirements but they're not being tested – 
mismatch between theory and practice

JJ: a lot of developers want to put in accessibility features, but 
funding, knowing what to do, direction to

JJ: problem with android is settings wordings are different with 
different flavors of android different manufacturers – not standard
