Accessibility is an essential part of good design and user experience. It is important for UX practitioners like us to recognise that people access products and services with diverse abilities, needs and context. May 9th marks the Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) and the UXPA UK is proud to participate in this global initiative; bringing accessibility closer to the UX practice. Source: UXPA-UK

I recently attended CHI2013 (SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems) and like a lot of attendees I decided to blog my experiences. I originally began a rather lengthy write-up that discussed the informative sessions I attended, the influential individuals I met and the key things I learnt. I was half-way through and said to myself:
