Mapping out accessibility requirements for the project

[lottycoupat]

Summary

This issue deals with mapping out accessibility requirements for the project. This can be for the platform development or any other area of the project.

Date Due by

Mid June Approx.

Details

Ensuring the project is accessible and inclusive for all is integral is for our project and we strive to ensure it is at the forefront of our work!

Therefore, this exercise is to capture all accessibility requirements specific to our users, specifically Autistic People who will be using the platform and are key contributors to our participatory research project. This key, as many standard accessibility requirements that projects follow are not attuned to the requirements of Autistic People.

Suggestions for tasks that can fix this issue

Please add any accessibility requirements that you can think of to the excel spreadsheet and label their level of requirement:

For definitions of these levels of requirements, please see in the spread sheet. We use the Moscow prioritisation method used heavily in agile projects.

Who can help

Anyone who has an interest in accessibility and inclusion.
