Interactivity and accessibility
Accessibility ensures that all individuals, can access, understand, and use information effectively, and so it is a crucial element to consider when creating official outputs. This talk will include practical tips for evaluating and improving accessibility of interactive visualisations created using open source software.
I’ll be talking in the Accessibility in official statistics - practical ways you can improve your outputs session, organised by Clare Griffiths on behalf of the RSS Official Statistics section group, alongside several other spreakers.
As part of this session I’ll be talking about:
- How can adding interactivity improve accessibility?
- How do we design and implement interactive elements in an accessible way?
