  1. As someone who is disabled and exists in poverty, I truly understand the actual value of a dollar and the true value of hard work, however what I do not understand is the insane cost of #AssistiveTechnologies, and #AssistiveDevices and #AssistiveServices, and #AssistiveHousing, as those whom need them the most are also those who can't afford them, Earth, Humans, this place and it's inhabitants is truly one messed up place with a bunch of greedy stingy discriminating bigots, the more I fall apart as I age and the more I need that I do not have nor can obtain, the more I despise the species I am supposedly apart of;

    You can encourage my continued useless #poetry, creativity and expression of self, #commentary, random thoughts, #philosophy and ideas, and by doing so your helping to feed, house and clothe a #disabled man living in #poverty, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…

  2. AI-Enhanced Assistive Technologies for Accessible Classrooms – novo livro

    A inteligência artificial (IA) está a redefinir os limites do que é possível na educação, especialmente para alunos com necessidades diversas. Num mundo onde a acessibilidade e a inclusão são prioridades crescentes, as tecnologias de apoio potenciadas por IA surgem como uma solução inovadora para remover barreiras e criar oportunidades iguais de aprendizagem. É neste contexto que nasce o livro "AI-Enhanced Assistive Technologies for Accessible Classrooms", co-editado por mim e pela […]

  4. My reply seems to have gotten eaten by Mastodon. I wrote this poll because people are always encourage others to include #AltText for pictures. I know polls like this don't mean anything, but only 10 people replied. Hopefully the technology for pulling text from pictures keeps improving so more people use #AltText

  6. The other thing I’m curious about is #assistiveTechnologies on #AppleVisionPro .
    I just talked with a friend who is working in the medical field about clients with a brain injury. Some can only move eyes, blink, and maybe can move fingers a little, but may be aware and awake.
    The device with its already large ecosystem of applications may make a huge difference here and it is cheap.

  8. Anybody have info on academic journals focusing on "digital accessibility" and "assistive technologies"? Any suggestions also on professional magazines or the like are welcome!

  9. Did a lovely (all female 💪) in-person #FigJam workshop yesterday with the following topics:

    - #inclusion #exclusion #accessibility
    - What to look for when doing a quick accessibility check
    - Tools for doing an accessibility check

    Was so much more fun to do it in the same room with the participants and got very inspired by their questions.

    Gonna start working on another one to show how you can leverage #landmarks to improve the structure of a website for #AssistiveTechnologies

  11. interesting conversations at #chi2023 that I always appreciate. I'm repeating myself: what i like most aboud academia is that I'm paid (also) for talking to very bright and motivated people. one inspiration today: how the idea of needing to fade out scaffolds from #edtech is actually helpful also for #assistiveTechnologies and users with special needs - thanks go to Brian A. Smith for this inspiration!

  12. > Until a couple of years ago, the browsers did not treat generated content as “real” content. They did not expose it to #AssistiveTechnologies like #ScreenReaders.
    […]
    For visual users, the link text “Get the Report (PDF)” would have been clear. But “(PDF)” was not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies […] so browsers started to treat #GeneratedContent as actual content.
