I was asked about people to follow who share valuable experience and perspectives on ethical user research, including with people with disabilities, so here are some recommendations: @Acuity_Design @operanomad @sara_ann_marie @reg_inee @slewth #a11yTOConf
There will always be some bias in research results that we can't control. But what we can do is work to minimise that bias through careful recruitment, activity design and data analysis
"If you don't spend time enough on recruitment process you might get biased results" @sloandr #a11yTOConf #UXResearch

What can we learn from healthcare quality initiatives to help us make progress in improving the quality of the technology we rely on for our health and well-being, focusing specifically on measures related to #accessibility for people with #disabilities? sarahhortondesign.com/2020/1…
“Remember, your goal with an on–off control is to make sure that users quickly understand both:
1. The current state, and
2. What will happen if they press that control”

“Decide if inclusive design is an important aspect to your software.” How is that step 1 of @microsoft’s Seven Steps for #InclusiveDesign? #Tech doesn’t decide whether it’s important that people with #disabilities can use software. It’s always important. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win…

Does anyone know any UK person involved in farming who uses a screen reader or has any access need?
"involved in farming" means in any way: as farmers themselves, agricultural secretaries, book keepers, advisers, agronomists, sales people - anything really.

Excellent summary of issues around camping, Campervans & littering which have been so much in the news recently - with some great solutions/suggestions for addressing them. Also good to hear the perspective of visitors & outdoors lovers which often gets forgotten.
With the surge in 'staycations' due to Coronavirus, there has been much conflict over tourism in Scotland this summer.
We take a look at how an even busier rural tourism areas - the French Alps - copes with wild camping, traffic, campervans and litter?walkhighlands.co.uk/news/man…

Able-bodied people who think ableism isn't culturally embedded in hiring practices - we have receipts. Check out all the barriers to access we face even in the top levels of academia. We don't have high levels of unemployment bc of laziness or inability, it's bc of your bullshit
@LSERC2020 @BarExamTracker not the message I was hoping to see from the PABOLE this morning... any recommendations on how not to be a type 1 diabetic for three days?
"If you want great results from user-centred design in your organisation, then the job of being user-centred can’t be given to one department while the rest of the company behaves like it always did." See also #accessibility
