      introductions

Perrin: UX designer Google research
… Background in computer science even though I'm a designer based in New 
York moving to Colorado this month

<Perrin> Sally: Lives in New Zealand, background in nurse but PhD in 
Computing

Sally: Live in New Zealand, I'm a nurse but I have a PhD in computing 
just to confuse people. Accessibility started for me when I was an 
undergrad computer science student many years ago and that I went back 
to nursing. Went back to it later in life. I teach nursing in a 
university but I have a lot of informatics. I've just gone from legally 
blind to what we consider totally blind but I still some.

Two research projects – there's a lack of guidelines and standards. 
That's what literature and my experience of developing keep telling me

VJ: Autistic didn't find out till recently – projects helping all people 
build multimedia access statements and workplace need assessments. I've 
been living the world of digital publishing – iPad and not a fancy 
iPhone have been my life. It has created those barriers simple stuff 
that you take for granted like filling in application form somewhere 
creating a textbased document and whatever the native application is. 
Applying for things.
… I also do a lot of research into technology in general – it's one of 
my fun areas – I see great potential as a tool for neuro- divergent 
people. A lot of issues but also access and inclusion. I want to 
spearhead for people impacted and mobile devices limited access to 
services that are being provided in any meaningful way through mobile 
services


      logistics


      Situational Impairments

Perrin: Noticing examples of situational impairments without saying what 
they are – for example touch targets might be useful for someone a 
subway etc. just want to call them out. Help get more empathy beyond 
accessibility community

VJ: easy read – making documents easier to read

<Perrin> VJ: How might we make content and journeys lower cognitive 
loads for those with learning disabilities?

<Perrin> Kim: We want to dive into this topic, so we're looking to do 
more foundational research to learn more

<Perrin> Sally will share the Google Docs A11y resources with some 
friends and colleagues
