Description

Designing for disability helps everyoneWe refer to Elise Roy's talks and an article that stated why accessibility is important, not only from a moral and legal standpoint but also from a business perspective that gives value to the product and solution."I believe that losing my hearing was one of the greatest gifts I've ever received," says Elise Roy. As a disability rights lawyer and design thinker, she knows that being Deaf gives her a unique way of experiencing and reframing the world -- a perspective that could solve some of our largest problems. As she says: "When we design for disability first, you often stumble upon solutions that are better than those when we design for the norm."https://www.ted.com/talks/elise_roy_when_we_design_for_disability_we_all_benefit?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomsharehttps://www.interaction-design.org/literature/article/3-reasons-why-accessible-design-is-good-for-all© 2021 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd YaacobPhoto (artwork): Universal Design Bus Stop Version 1, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur (Naziaty Mohd Yaacob)Support the show
