As an enthusiast for open source software who is also disabled, I get frustrated at how inaccessible a lot of open source software is. When there are accessibility options, they're usually bolted-on additions that don't work very well. Disabled users are forced into ad-hoc compromises that are laborious to install and labyrinthine to operate. The frustration often drives us back to corporate software. OSS is high friction and low benefit for many disabled users.

Open source developers would gain a lot from integrating accessible design into their products from the ground up (like TTS! My kingdom for fully integrated neural TTS on my browser and operating system). Accessibility features don't just help disabled people. More than half of all people using a phone use accessibility features. Do you really want to exclude half your users?

Accessibility also requires you to think about things like simplicity of design and ease of access for all your users. It can provide redundancy for errors (for example: alt text can be helpful when an image doesn't load, captions can provide a backup if their audio drops out, alternate input methods can allow people to continue using an app if they have keyboard or mouse issues). It can improve design (example: clearer instructions, easier to read text, simple consistent navigation). In short: it makes your software better.

Making the world more accessible for one group improves access for all: this is a basic principle of universal design. Stop excluding us and start making us the core of what you do — you will be a better developer for it.

The global beauty industry is worth hundreds of billions. Yet, it remains an inaccessible and non-inclusive market.

Molly Burke, a blind Canadian public figure reflects on this in a recent TEDx talk.

“If brands get it right by accident, imagine what they could do with intention… When we include disabled people from the start of design process, we make things that are better for everyone.”

Have you ever wondered about the difference between Universal Design and Inclusive Design?

They each define an approach to making the world accessible to people with disabilities, but follow different philosophies.

Another "clarification" blog post from me, on the difference between Universal Design and Inclusive Design.

It's my opinion, so happy to take any comments.

Gerade zurück aus England – und beeindruckt vom Alltag, der vielerorts selbstverständlicher barrierefrei ist.

Klar: Auch in England ist nicht alles perfekt. Aber der spürbare Wille, Inklusion baulich mitzudenken, ist stark. Der Zugang wird nicht als Sonderlösung verstanden – sondern als Teil guter Gestaltung.

Project 2025 as a last gasp of a dying system of “power-over,” one that fears the regenerative, relational force of the people, the Earth, and the sacred.

Thirty-five days, thirty head-tilting contradictions: from elevators that *never* break to cafés that shun outdoor tables, from bullet-train punctuality to websites that “sleep” at night. Roll with me through Japan’s elegant chaos—where radical accessibility and rigid rule-books somehow coexist—and see why I left with a lighter suitcase, a happier stomach, and a head full of marvels.

That last one may be just a "me" thing (though I suspect not). The article talks about new dialogue only options, though I personally like the descriptive audio. It sometimes surfaces nuances I hadn't noticed. #UniversalDesign

Captioning may be my new go-to example for #UniversalDesign. As the article notes, *a lot* of people are using them for a variety of reasons:

1. Deaf/hard of hearing

2. Better understanding the content

3. Better understanding accents

4. Watching horror movies at 1 a.m. when the rest of the family is sleeping, and you've got the sound turned down real low.

For anyone who is struggling with disabilities that aren't always visible, or where what you can do on any given day changes depending on a multitude of factors, I recommend this video by Jessica McCabe of "How to ADHD": universal design for the person we are in our worst days, to help us succeed (or at least manage), no matter what.

Honored. Inspired. Driven.

Last week at #CSUN2025, we had the incredible opportunity to connect, learn, and grow alongside some of the most innovative minds in accessibility and assistive technology. As a fully remote team, gathering in person is always meaningful, but being part of conversations that shape the future of our technology makes it even more special.

We’re grateful for the chance to hear from industry leaders, learn from fellow innovators, and connect with Explorers (both new and those who have been here from the start) who shape the work we do every day. Having a seat at this table is an honor, and we’re more committed than ever to making Aira the best it can be.

Thank you, Center on Disabilities at CSUN, for another unforgettable year!

First time (I think) I've noticed these buttons on a vending machine. (Which is odd as I spent a couple of months in a wheelchair in Tokyo. So maybe I saw them back then and forgot.)

But I like to see it.

Accommodations designed for people with #disabilities often benefit everyone. Examples include captioning, visual instructions, and remote work options, according to a professor of disability studies: https://buff.ly/3CVmteh

Manchmal sind es die alltäglichen Dinge, die zu großen Herausforderungen werden. Kürzlich brauchte ich eine neue Brille, wofür eine Sehschärfenmessung notwendig ist. Früher war das problemlos möglich: Mit einer Messbrille, bei der die Gläser ausgetauscht werden, konnte ich die Untersuchung direkt im Rollstuhl machen. Doch diese Methode wird immer seltener, verdrängt durch moderne Geräte wie Autorefraktometer. Diese sind zwar technisch fortschrittlich, erfordern aber eine bestimmte Sitzposition, die ich als Rollstuhlfahrer nicht einnehmen kann.

Ich habe monatelang recherchiert, Ärzte und Optiker abtelefoniert – ohne Erfolg. Selbst ein Termin, den ich über den Service meiner Krankenkasse in einer angeblich barrierefreien Praxis vereinbart hatte, brachte keine Lösung. Vor Ort stellte sich heraus, dass zwar die Räumlichkeiten barrierefrei waren, die Untersuchung aber nicht, da das moderne Gerät meine Bedürfnisse nicht berücksichtigte.

Schließlich fand ich einen Optiker in meiner Nachbarschaft, der flexibel genug war, die klassische Messbrille zu nutzen. Doch auch das war nur durch Improvisation möglich: Meine Sitzschale musste auf einen Stuhl umgestellt werden, da die Anzeigetafel in einer festen Position montiert ist. Eine Lösung, die für mich persönlich funktionierte, aber weit entfernt von einer zugänglichen Standardlösung ist.

Diese Erfahrung zeigt, wie technologische Innovation bestehende barrierefreie Methoden verdrängen kann, ohne neue Alternativen zu schaffen. Barrierefreiheit darf kein nachträglicher Gedanke sein – sie muss von Anfang an mitgedacht werden, damit alle von Fortschritten profitieren können.

Disruption fuels progress—but at what cost? From inaccessible ridesharing to aviation designs that isolate, innovation often leaves people with disabilities behind. It’s time to rethink what we break and rebuild. Discover why accessibility is the true measure of progress in Part 1 of my series: The Hidden Cost of Disruption.

Disruption drives innovation, but who gets left behind? In our race to 'move fast and break things,' accessibility is often overlooked—turning progress into barriers for millions. It's time to rethink innovation and make inclusivity the cornerstone of true disruption.

Limerick Mayor Candidate Dr Laura Keyes:

"The new role of mayor is not about cutting ribbons.

It's about leading Limerick: managing council services, developing & delivering a vision for our shared future.

Be wary of underqualified candidates or those beholden to banks & landlords.

This job needs experience & skills."

In what might just be the coolest thing to ever happen to me, I received a personal invitation from Jeff Bezos himself, following a conversation with TED Conferences's Chris Anderson about the incredible work we're doing at Bridge the Gap. The invite? To test the accessibility for disabled individuals on none other than a suborbital rocket - BLUE ORIGIN's New Shepard!

Yes, you read that right. My good friend Björn and I are being given the opportunity to participate in one of the next launches. 🌍➡️🚀 This isn't just a giant leap for accessibility; it's a quantum leap for inclusive space exploration!

Our journey with Bridge the Gap, advocating for tech and design solutions that foster inclusion and accessibility, has always aimed sky-high, but this is literally out of this world. We've tackled challenges on the ground, and now, we might just be taking them to space.

The prospect of contributing to making space travel accessible is a dream that's too good not to share. Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this star-studded adventure!
