Universal by Design

Good designers and developers strive to create intuitive, supportive interfaces that allow people to discover information independently and use products efficiently. Accessibility for the disabled, if considered, is most often an afterthought and sometimes dismissed as "too hard" or "too boring."

In this session, James Craig will demonstrate through numerous examples, from behavioral psychology to cyber-kinesiology, how accessible, universal design benefits not only those with disabilities, but society at large, enabled or disabled... everyone.

James Craig has more than a decade of experience designing and developing accessible web sites and software. He works for Apple in Cupertino, lives in San Francisco, and volunteers for the Web Standards Project (WaSP) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
