Accessibility context cards: buff.ly/3phl0aL
Some cards to help designers understand what different people with different disabilities need in terms of accessibility and how to bake that into the mockups.

ALT One card is titled This is Alex, he is blind and shows a photo of Alex and 3 bullet points as a bio. The other card titled Design consideration for people who are blind and lists things people should consider before designing.

'Is it accessible?' - I've seen this question being posed a lot over the years and the folks being asked get overwhelmed/frustrated - instead ask things like 'How have you approached accessibility when designing/building 'X''? or 'What gaps are you aware of in your approach?'

Testing your product for #accessibility yourself will *never* compare with testing with real users.

What astounds me about people who are so against accessibility in gaming is that they don't realize what we are trying to do now will help them later in life when they want to keep playing games and they physically can't play as well as they used to.

"When captioning a video with lots of sounds, don’t rely on the audio alone. The visuals can do the heavy lifting. Also, be descriptive yet concise when describing sounds. 'Squelching wetly' can be shortened to 'squelching.'" @merylkevans meryl.net/stranger-things-ca…
