# Legal Basis for Accessibility
**Individuals with Disabilities Education Act** (IDEA, 1975): Free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment to every child with a disability.
**Rehab Act** (1976): Equal access to government services
**Americans with Disabilities Act** (1990): Equal access to all goods/services
**UN Convention on Rights of PD** (2006): 147 countries ratified convention
Ongoing and constant legal challenges, especially to the [ADA](http://www.webaim.org/coordination/law/us/ada)
???
1996 ADA complaint against San José
Use of PDF inaccessible to city commissioner
Web sites are a “service” and thus subject to the ADA
Led to S. J. Web Page Disability Access Standard
1999 Natn’l Fed. of the Blind against AOL
Based on the interpretation of the Web as a place of public accommodation (ADA)
Settled out of court

# Disability Justice Principles
1. INTERSECTIONALITY(*) "we are many things, and they all impact us."
[Sins Invalid](https://www.sinsinvalid.org/) disability based performance project defines [10 principles of disability justice](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5bed3674f8370ad8c02efd9a/t/5f1f0783916d8a179c46126d/1595869064521/10_Principles_of_DJ-2ndEd.pdf) which are:
(*) Feminist theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw coined intersectionality in
1989 to describe the experiences of Black women, who experience both
racism and sexism.
???
“We do not live single issue lives” –Audre Lorde.
Ableism, coupled with white supremacy, supported by capitalism, underscored by heteropatriarchy, has rendered the vast majority of the world “invalid.”
---
# Disability Justice Principles
1. INTERSECTIONALITY "we are many things, and they all impact us."
2. LEADERSHIP OF THOSE MOST IMPACTED helps us stay grounded by those we serve
???
“We are led by those who most know these systems.” –Aurora Levins Morales
lifting up, listening to, reading, following, and highlighting the perspectives of those who are most impacted by the systems we fight against."
by centering the
leadership of those most impacted, we keep ourselves grounded in real-world
problems and find creative strategies for resistance. "
---
# Disability Justice Principles
1. INTERSECTIONALITY "we are many things, and they all impact us."
2. LEADERSHIP OF THOSE MOST IMPACTED helps us stay grounded by those we serve
3. ANTI-CAPITALIST POLITICS "we resist conforming to 'normative' levels
of productivity in a capitalist culture"
???
In an economy that sees land and humans as components of profit, we are anti-capitalist by the nature of having non-conforming body/minds.
Capitalism depends on wealth accumulation for some (the white ruling class), at the expense of others... Our worth is not dependent on what and how much we can produce.
---
# Disability Justice Principles
4) CROSS-MOVEMENT SOLIDARITY "Through cross-movement solidarity, we create a united front."
???
disability justice lends itself to politics of alliance.
Align with racial justice, reproductive justice, queer and trans liberation, prison abolition, environmental justice, anti-police terror, Deaf activism, fat liberation, and more... challenging white disability communities around racism and challenging other movements to confront ableism.
--
5) RECOGNIZING WHOLENESS "Disabled people are whole people."
???
People have inherent worth outside of commodity relations and capitalist notions of productivity. Each person is full of history and life experience.
Each person is full of history and life experience. Each person has an internal
experience composed of our own thoughts, sensations, emotions, sexual fantasies,
perceptions, and quirks.
--
6) SUSTAINABILITY "pace ourselves, individually and collectively"
???
We pace ourselves, individually and collectively, to be sustained long term. Our embodied experiences guide us toward ongoing justice and liberation.
to be sustained long-term, value the teachings of our bodies and experiences, and use them as a critical guide and reference point to help us move away from urgency and into a deep, slow, transformative, unstoppable wave of justice and liberation.
--
7) COMMITMENT TO CROSS-DISABILITY SOLIDARITY "isolation undermines collective liberation"
???
even and especially those who are most often left out of political conversations. Break down the isolation between people with physical
impairments, people who are sick or chronically ill, psych survivors and people
with mental health disabilities, neurodiverse people, people with intellectual or
developmental disabilities, Deaf people, Blind people, people with environmental
injuries and chemical sensitivities, and all others who experience ableism and
isolation that undermines our collective liberation.

# Disability Justice Principles
8) INTERDEPENDENCE "We work to meet each other's needs" rather than depending on state solutions
???
the liberation of all living systems and the land as integral to the liberation of our own communities, as we all share one planet. We work to meet each other’s needs as we build toward liberation, knowing that state solutions inevitably extend into further control over lives.
--
9) COLLECTIVE ACCESS "We can share responsibility for our access needs ... balance autonomy while being in community"
???
AS brown, black and queer-bodied disabled people we bring flexibility and creative nuance that go beyond able-bodied/minded normativity, to be in community with each other.
... Access needs aren’t shameful — we all function differently depending on context and environment. Access needs can be articulated and met privately, through a collective, or in community, depending upon an individual’s needs, desires, and the capacity of the group. We can share responsibility for our access needs, we can ask that our needs be met without compromising our integrity, we can balance autonomy while being in community, we can be unafraid of our vulnerabilities, knowing our strengths are respected.
--
10) COLLECTIVE LIBERATION No body or mind can be left behind – only moving together can we accomplish the revolution we require.
???
We move together as people with mixed abilities, multiracial, multi-gendered, mixed class, across the sexual spectrum, with a vision that leaves no bodymind behind.

# Case study: One-way Masking
Disability Perspective [FastCompany Article](https://www.fastcompany.com/90790893/im-a-chronically-ill-student-and-one-way-masking-isnt-enough) by a chronically ill Berkeley student
.quote[I challenge people who are not at high risk for COVID-19 complications to think about what it must be like trying to attend university (or go into work every day) while also trying to avoid getting COVID-19.]
.quote[Why wouldn’t people wear a mask to protect “vulnerable” members of our community, who are statistically part of every college campus? Why is it always the disabled or chronically ill student or professor who has to ask people to wear masks? Why can’t people just show solidarity? I ask myself these questions daily.]

# Some terms used in Accessibility
.left-column50[
Accommodation-- we've already discussed
- Co-producing access for all participants in a space or event
- Legally mandated, but also so much more
Universal Design (why is this problematic?)
- One design works for everybody
- Typical example: curb cuts

Disability Justice Based Design
- Design informed by disability justice
- What we practice in this class
]
---
# Disability Justice in Design (1 / 4)
The **central philosophy** in this class
1) Intersectionality: Ensure that the things we build address multiple disabled people and multiple disabled people
--
2) Leadership of those most impacted: Disability led decisions, not disability dongles
When we design for people with disabilities,
- Ideally people with disabilities are part of the design process (or lead it)
- In this class, we emphasize first person accounts to reduce the burden of asking disabled people to teach us while we are still learning
---
# Disability Justice in Design (2 / 4)
3) Anti-Capitalist Politics
When we create systems, we make them accessible even though it may cost time and money
- No segregation, even if it is cheaper to implement
???
Consider things like disclosure and invisibility
--
4) Cross-Movement Solidarity
Adressing accessibility isn't enough if we aren't inclusive of other identities tools
---
# Disability Justice in Design (3 / 4)
5) Recognizing Wholeness
We should include accessibility in all the spaces that people interact with technology, because people with disabilities exist in all of the spaces -- as authors and consumers; programmers and users; and in every area of life
--
6) Sustainability
We should work at a pace that includes everyone in the work, and not value the rush products to market over access
---
# Disability Justice in Design (4 / 4)
7) Cross-disability Solidarity: Again, we should support multiply disabled (and multiple disabled) people...
8) Interdependence: ... and create designs that encourage people (with and without disabiltiies) to work together to achieve access...
9) Collective access: ... and in the process our designs balance agency and control with interdependence and independence
10) Collective liberation: ... and leave no one behind in the process

Many pages of accessibility settings
- VoiceOver – reads what is on screen
- Speech recognition for controlling device
- Zoom – screen magnifier – 3 finger tap
- Closed captions on videos
- AssistiveTouch – so don’t need multiple fingers, don’t need to press Home
button, etc.
- Switch Control (IOS7 and later):
- Optional connection to external switch or [head movement with built in camera](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXF2ThtYXzM)
