-
Not SyncedThank you Kim
-
Not SyncedGood morning
-
Not SyncedI've very excited to focus on, can you hear me ok?
-
Not SyncedIt's ok, good. I tend to talk softly
-
Not Syncedand sometimes it carries a bit, but
-
Not Syncednot always. And we were talking about
-
Not Synceda really good video, that I was telling
-
Not SyncedJennie about that I would love to share
-
Not Syncedsomeday. It's a video about people who say
-
Not Syncedoh, I don't need the mic, I talk loudly.
-
Not SyncedThat's a bad idea but it's a great video
-
Not Syncedbecause it's true it might make a big
-
Not Synceddifference in terms of communicating sound
-
Not Syncedeffectively. You have no idea how much of an
-
Not Syncedimpact talking loudly does not do the same
-
Not Syncedthing. So, that's why you have a mic for me.
-
Not SyncedSo Jennie and I asked to come talk to you all
-
Not Syncedand I'm very excited to hear your stories
-
Not Syncedbecause usually, when I come in front of an
-
Not Syncedaudience, on the job, to persuade you on why
-
Not Syncedaccessibility matters. It sounds like you
-
Not Syncedalready know that (laughter).
-
Not SyncedSo, thank you (laughter).
-
Not SyncedI have a slide to talk about that so I'm
-
Not Syncedgoing to go ahead and go over some of the
-
Not Syncedbasic stuff to make sure that we are all on
-
Not Syncedthe same page but most of you have said
-
Not Syncedthat you know you are here to hear about
-
Not Syncedaccessibility and you want to support
-
Not Syncedaccessibility. So to give you a little more
-
Not Synceddetails about that just so that, not only
-
Not Synceddo you have that information but you can talk
-
Not Syncedto other people who you may need to
-
Not Syncedpersuade, on why you do what you do.
-
Not SyncedIt's good to have those tools in your tool
-
Not Syncedbox is useful when you are planning your
-
Not Syncedrole and what you are trying to do. So we
-
Not Syncedwill spend some time on that and then Jennie
-
Not Syncedis going to talk about getting to and making
-
Not Syncedcontent accessible. This is my section of
-
Not Syncedthe slide and my title is Chief Information
-
Not SyncedAccessibility Officer and I think that's the
-
Not Syncedbest title in the state because you say CIAO.
-
Not SyncedSo, we are part of the Office of
-
Not SyncedAccessibility. We are housed in Minnesota
-
Not SyncedIT services or MNIT. We don't have the dock
-
Not Syncedanymore in those slides, I'm sorry.
-
Not SyncedAnd (indiscernible).
-
Not SyncedOur role is standards that effect the state
-
Not Syncedof accessibility standards and related
-
Not Syncedstandards, outreach, education, we often get
-
Not Syncedinvolved in procurement, making sure the state
-
Not Syncedbuys stuff that is accessible. And so we have
-
Not Syncedto look at the standards when buying new
-
Not Syncedcontent management systems, buying software,
-
Not Syncedbuying new systems, we want to figure out
-
Not Syncedthat what you buy is accessible and how to
-
Not Syncedbuild that into the system. We also have
-
Not Syncedaccessibility coordinators, like Kim
-
Not Syncedintroduced herself as an accessibility
-
Not Syncedcoordinator for MDE. We want to have
-
Not Syncedevery agency and division or your organization
-
Not Syncedif you want, to have at least two
-
Not Syncedcoordinators. Somebody on the IT side and
-
Not Syncedsomebody on what we call the business side,
-
Not Syncedor the non-IT side and they will partner
-
Not Syncedwith each other. Ok, so we organize
-
Not Syncedmeetings every month and other activities
-
Not Syncedfor the coordinators as well.
-
Not SyncedSo, I'm going to give you a quick quiz
-
Not Syncedto see where you are at and what your
-
Not Syncedunderstanding of accessibility is. Can
-
Not Syncedanybody give me an answer or have a guess
-
Not Syncedat the difference between accessibility
-
Not Syncedand accommodation? We tend to use those
-
Not Syncedwords very often, sometimes interchangeably.
-
Not SyncedBut, they are not interchangeable. So who can
-
Not Syncedsay what the difference is between accessibility
-
Not Syncedand accommodation? Anybody want to give
-
Not Synceda shot at it? Ok. Accessibility is literally
-
Not Syncedmaking content controls accessible to people
-
Not Syncedwith different abilities. Accommodation is
-
Not Syncedchanging instruction to meet those needs
-
Not Syncedas opposed to how it's physically works.
-
Not SyncedThat's interesting, I've never heard that
-
Not Syncedanswer before. That's an interesting answer
-
Not Syncedbecause you're talking about making content
-
Not Syncedinstruction accessible, which I know
-
Not Syncedpeople in here are coming from. Let me
-
Not Syncedgive you my answer and then we will
-
Not Syncedsee how the two line up, ok. Because that's
-
Not Synceda very interesting way of putting it. For me,
-
Not Syncedaccessibility is the foundational concept.
-
Not SyncedIt's making something that everybody
-
Not Syncedcan use, in every way. So, kinda what you
-
Not Syncedsaid about putting it in there. So, what
-
Not Syncedwe do, I'm not looking at the house
-
Not SyncedI'm looking at the curb cut because in
-
Not Synceda digital world, we call digital accessibility
-
Not Syncedthis is an electronic curb cut. It's an example
-
Not Syncedof putting something there regardless of
-
Not Syncedwhether or not we anticipate a need.
-
Not SyncedSo for example, with the curb cut, when they
-
Not Syncedbuilt the sidewalk, they didn't walk around
-
Not Syncedwe need to poll any resident to find out if
-
Not Syncedthere is anybody in a wheelchair within five
-
Not Syncedblocks. They just put the curb cut in so it's
-
Not Syncednot about whether or not there is a known need.
-
Not SyncedIt is built into the system so accessibility,
-
Not Syncedlike you said, is what we build into it. The
-
Not Syncedaccommodation, at least in the digital world,
-
Not Syncedand not necessarily a change in construction,
-
Not Syncedthat is one way to do it, right. For example,
-
Not Syncedwhat your perspective would be like, is
-
Not Syncedsomebody who wanted a text version of a
-
Not Syncedaudio file. Then in our interpretation would be
-
Not Syncedan accommodation is something that is specifically
-
Not Syncedan instruction or a technology for that person.
-
Not SyncedSo assistive technology, for example is
-
Not Syncedan accommodation. For example, a screen
-
Not Syncedmagnifier, a screen reader, a pair of glasses,
-
Not Synceda refreshable braille reader. Those are things
-
Not Syncedbolted onto the system to serve a particular
-
Not Syncedpurpose or requirement. However, the
-
Not Syncedaccommodation may not have any value if the
-
Not Syncedtechnology itself is not accessible. We could
-
Not Syncedhave an inaccessible website, put a
-
Not Syncedrefreshable reader right on there and
-
Not Syncedsay have it, they still can't use it. The
-
Not Syncedaccommodation does not work because
-
Not Syncedthe technology itself is not accessible.
-
Not SyncedWhich is a slight difference from what you
-
Not Syncedare saying because accommodation, from your
-
Not Syncedperspective, which is a valid accommodation,
-
Not Syncedis taking in accessible content, reformat it,
-
Not Syncedmake it accessible and then give it as
-
Not Syncedan accommodation. That is doing something
-
Not Syncedafter the fact. I built an inaccessible PDF, oh oops, too bad.
-
Not SyncedI can't read it so I'll print it out, make it a text file and
-
Not Syncedthen give it to somebody. That's the accommodation,
-
Not Syncedto fix something that was not accessible. Where
-
Not Syncedthe accessible PDF file, where everybody
-
Not Syncedcould use it, but then I happen to require
-
Not SyncedRead Write Gold, which is assistive
-
Not Syncedtechnology to actually read the PDF. That's the
-
Not Syncedslight difference of what I'm talking about
-
Not Syncedwhere you're talking about accommodations
-
Not Syncedto fix something that's not working and is
-
Not Syncednot accessible. I was trying to not work
-
Not Syncedthe assistive technology because I thought
-
Not Syncedthat was the next question (laughter).
-
Not SyncedI taking if from my own child's needs
-
Not Syncedwhere his instruction is an accommodation for
-
Not Syncedhis instructional needs (indiscernible). And again,
-
Not Syncedto your point, some of the accommodations
-
Not Syncedwhen it's in a non digital world -
-
Not SyncedJay - right -
-
Not Syncedreally does require physically changing
-
Not Syncedsomething after the fact, because text
-
Not Syncedbooks aren't necessarily accessible in of
-
Not Syncedthemselves, the way they are printed off.
-
Not SyncedExactly, so, it sort of depends on the
-
Not Syncedsituation, like you said, and what we are
-
Not Syncedtrying to do today, or what we are
-
Not Syncedtrying to do in your world, is
-
Not Syncedtrying to make things accessible so
-
Not Syncedthat we can get the bar higher and
-
Not Syncedrequire less accommodation because
-
Not Syncedaccessibility covers what they need. And then
-
Not Syncedaccommodations are only added for those
-
Not Syncedthat have specific needs because of mobile
-
Not Syncedissues, sight issues or from my perspective,
-
Not Syncedhearing issues. But, that is the other thing
-
Not Syncedabout accessibility and accommodations,
-
Not Syncedwe're changing that bar as the time evolves
-
Not Syncedas for example, captioning, it's no longer
-
Not Syncedan accommodation it's part of the accessibility.
-
Not SyncedSo, I shouldn't have to request an accommodation
-
Not Syncedfor captioning cause it's just built in. As
-
Not Syncedopposed to somebody needs a screen reader.
-
Not SyncedYou don't build a screen reader into web
-
Not Syncedbrowsers, yet. Down the road, they
-
Not Syncedmay be building screen readers into web
-
Not Syncedbrowsers. Microsoft is already doing that
-
Not Syncedwith Microsoft Narrator. Ok. The difference
-
Not Syncedthere is that requires you to use one product
-
Not Syncedas opposed to having a need you prefer
-
Not Syncedor have a need for something else.
-
Not SyncedAnd so things get a little tricky there.
-
Not SyncedI'm not going to talk about that today but
-
Not SyncedI am saying that the definition though the
-
Not Syncedline between accessibility and accomodation
-
Not Syncedis evolving and will continue to evolve,
-
Not Syncedthrough the roof. Ok, so, accessibility,
-
Not Syncedaccommodation and then assistive
-
Not Syncedtechnology is the third word that I'm
-
Not Syncedassuming most of you know what that is.
-
Not SyncedThat in the digital technology world,
-
Not Syncedassistive technology is something that
-
Not Syncedwe need to be sure we are buying
-
Not Syncedis readable by something like a
-
Not Syncedrefreshable braille reader. Ok. Is there,
-
Not Syncedas you pointed out, are there other
-
Not Syncedaccommodations besides that of AT,
-
Not Syncedsuch as reformatting a document or
-
Not Syncedproviding other concrete mechanisms.
-
Not SyncedOk, so, we've talked about accessibility,
-
Not Syncedwe talked about accommodations. What
-
Not Syncedpeople (indiscernible) word is how do I
-
Not Syncedmake this ADA compliant? They have
-
Not Syncedthe right idea, they have their
-
Not Syncedheart in the right place. But they are
-
Not Syncedusing words that I consider to be inactive.
-
Not SyncedAnd, so one of my missions is to increase
-
Not Syncedmore clarity and (indiscernible) in the terms
-
Not Syncedthat we use. So that we are clear and
-
Not Syncedwe can communicate more effectively about
-
Not Syncedwhat we are trying to do. Most of you have
-
Not Syncedheard about the Americans with Disabilities
-
Not SyncedAct, or the ADA. The ADA was written
-
Not Syncedbefore the internet was invented yet. Which
-
Not Syncedmeans that when the ADA was written there
-
Not Syncedwas no internet. There was no concept
-
Not Syncedof digital accessibility. And that is why
-
Not Syncedthe ADA was updated in the 1990s
-
Not Syncedthey (indescernable). For involving for your
-
Not Syncedson or for involving like people needing
-
Not Syncedramps, floors, handlebars. Ok. So there
-
Not Syncedis nothing in the ADA law that has anything
-
Not Syncedto do with digital technology. So how do you
-
Not Syncedmake something that is ADA compliant?
-
Not SyncedThere is nothing there. What is there is
-
Not Syncedthat the ADA there are three titles for the ADA
-
Not Syncedor five. The first one is involving requirements.
-
Not SyncedThe second is we have state and local
-
Not Syncedgovernments. And the third involving
-
Not Synced(indiscernible). And the fourth is the
-
Not SyncedDepartment of Justice. And the Department
-
Not Syncedof Justice is several civic and federal courts.
-
Not SyncedThat have determined that public
-
Not Syncedaccommodations in the public sphere
-
Not Syncednow extends from the physical bonds
-
Not Syncedto the digital bonds. And so case law
-
Not Syncedhas subjects that have started to target
-
Not Syncedlaw suits way back, maybe you have talked
-
Not Syncedabout Target quite awhile ago, with an
-
Not Syncedinaccessible website. That is when the ADA
-
Not Syncedstarted evolving into the digital space.
-
Not SyncedBut, there was still nothing written into the
-
Not SyncedADA itself. They have been writing or
-
Not Syncedrewriting something called an advanced
-
Not Syncedmode of supposed rule making.
-
Not Synced(indiscernible)
-
Not SyncedAnd they were taking there time doing it,
-
Not Syncedas you know ((indiscernible). And they
-
Not Syncedwere getting close to it and then
-
Not Synced(indiscernible), now we know where they are
-
Not Syncedat. So, we don't say ADA compliant, because
-
Not Syncedthey're not the same. But we do say is
-
Not Syncedhow do I make this work for everyone? And
-
Not Syncedthat is what you want to do cause that
-
Not Syncedmakes sense to people. How do you make it
-
Not Syncedwork for everyone. And (indescernable) building
-
Not Syncedsomething you want it for one the people who
-
Not Syncedcan see. Do you ever say that? I want it only
-
Not Syncedfor people who have full use of their legs
-
Not Syncedand arms. Do you ever say that? You don't
-
Not Syncedsay that. So think about it in this way,
-
Not Synced(indiscernible) compliance. But, there are rules
-
Not Synced(indiscernible) written in the ADA, so we will
-
Not Syncedgo over those rules very quickly. First of all
-
Not Syncedhow many of you have heard about the
-
Not Syncedweb content accessibility guidelines 2.0?
