Usability and Accessibility for Senior Citizens Accessibility review Aging population Accessibility issues for Senior population Barriers beyond disabilities Niche market? ROI costs ROI benefits

Accessibility Review "Accessible" means (available) to a wide range of people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning difficulties, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech difficulties, and others. Following these guidelines will also make your Web content more accessible to the vast majority of users, including older users” (W3C) section508.gov WCAG-Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Knowbility

2000 U.S. Census, includes Puerto Rico The Aging Population 2000: 281,421, : 34,991,753 (12.4%) 2020:335,805, : 54,633,000 (16.3%) 2040:391,946, : 80,049,000 (20.4%)

Eye Physiology

Accessibility Issues for Senior Population Visual –Macular degeneration -Glaucoma –Cataracts -Blindness Ocular events & the aging process –Lens becomes rigid & muscles weaken –Cornea yellows –Less light reaches the retina

Accessibility Issues for Senior Population Motor skills –Arthritis –TremorsTremors –Parkinson’s disease Cognition –Attention span –Memory impairments –Distraction (visual clutter, animation, irrelevant information)

Barriers Beyond Disabilities Comprehension –Language –Lack of computer skills –Learning styles

Niche Market? Healthcare –NIH SeniorHealthNIH SeniorHealth –BlueCross BlueShieldBlueCross BlueShield Routine tasks – –Bill paying –NewsNews –Shopping –BrowsingBrowsing

ROI Costs Fixing bad design vs. planning for accessibility Review for accessibility –WebxactWebxact Usability testing –Mobility issues –Difficulty recruiting

ROI Benefits Market size Niche market Legal requirements/lawsuits Market perception/PR –Gain reputation with seniors Cost savings/customer service

Steve Krug: The five things you can do right now 1.Fix the usability problems that confuse everyone 2.Read an articleRead an article 3.Read a book 4.Start using CSS 5.Go for the low-hanging fruit Alt-text “skip to main content”
