Out now: What Every Engineer Needs to Know about Digital Accessibility
Sarah Horton (our Visiting Fellow) and David Sloan have recently published the landmark book ‘What Every Engineer Should Know About Digital Accessibility‘ Synthesised from decades of experience working at the cutting-edge of digital accessibility practice, Horton and Sloan distil the key principles, methodologies and approaches that every engineer needs in their tool kit.Ā What Every Engineer Should Know About AccessibilityĀ delivers a perfect balance of conceptual and practical content, for a deep dive, or for reference. It also brings in expert voices from the international vanguard of accessibility ā advocates, academics and industry leaders. The result is a range of perspectives that highlight the innovation and richness that is at the heart of engineering for accessibility; and the real-world harm that can and does result from digital exclusion. For a product, service, platform or tool to be truly excellent, it must be excellent for everyone. In this ground-breaking book, Horton and Sloan show how this excellence can be engineered for all, with disabled people at the centre.
We heartily recommend this book – and there is a 20% discount available [code: EFLY03] on the Ā£29.99 cover price available from Routledge at time of writing. Congratulations to Sarah H and David on this excellent work!
