Hello everyone, Ruchi is doing a project and spoke to the Exchange Club on
Monday. Details below if you want to get involved.
"I can't buy groceries via the supermarket's app as it doesn't work properly
with my phone's screen reader."
"Many news websites don't offer colour contrast options, making an otherwise
simple activity, exceedingly difficult."
Experiences like these are not uncommon among people with visual difficulties.
If you have ever been frustrated or negatively impacted by poorly designed
websites, apps, or software, and wished they could be made better, I would love
to hear from you.
I'm working on a digital accessibility project which aims for software
designers and developers to work together with people with sensory and/or
physical disabilities, to design more accessible and usable digital interfaces.
This project is based on my PhD research which I finished 3 years ago. It
uncovered how inaccessible digital technology has a negative impact on
education and career opportunities of higher education students with physical
and sensory disabilities.
I would ensure that you are paid for your time and effort on the project.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.
Kindest regards,
Ruchi Palan
