BSI Documentary - Building accessibility


Why are accessibility standards important? How do standards help designers? How can we make the World Wide Web wider? With a new documentary on accessibility, BSI Group provides some answers to the many questions on buildings accessibility and web accessibility. This is how the world's first national standards body has chosen to celebrate World Standards Day on 14 October. This year's global message is 'Standards make the world accessible for all'. The video -- which includes strong and interesting statements from many authoritative contributors -- will be shown during the European Commission's World Standards Day 2010 'Accessibility for all' conference in Brussels today. "People have different needs and abilities", says BSI Film Producer Sofie Sandell. "In this video we want to give them a voice to make sure that their needs are heard and fulfilled thanks to standards". The documentary touches on several aspects of accessibility, from buildings to websites. The key messages are: If people don't have access to buildings, transport and the web they are locked out from society; standards create opportunities for an active life for all. BSI Group has always been committed to establishing and supporting standards which promote the availability of products and services to all consumers, regardless of their disability or impairment. And this year's event will highlight the effort BSI is making in this area. "Accessibility has become an increasing focus for BSI, recognizing that <b>...</b>

Accessibility: For everyone's Benefit


More than one in ten, that is, at least 50m citizens throughout the EU, must deal with a disability and are confronted daily with physical barriers. And, as populations are increasingly ageing and disabilities are often acquired with age, their number is set to increase. Although EU legislation has been in place since 2000 to implement the principle of equal treatment in employment, disabled people still remain among the most disadvantaged social groups throughout Europe. Indeed, 45% of Europeans recently surveyed think that discrimination amongst disabled people is particularly rife.

Enabling Accessibility in Windows 8


With a consistent platform, developers of Metro style features within Windows can now leverage the standards and platform to ensure their components are accessible. While the features are designed, developed, and tested, we continually track the progress made towards accessibility. When we released the build for the Windows 8 Developer Preview, the team had been working on accessibility. However, we still had bugs that impacted High Contrast, keyboard navigation, and programmatic data for the ATs to consume. We are by no means done, and we continue to drive the accessibility requirements across the team to ensure we meet our goals. In each public release of Windows 8, you will see improvements being made in this area. Find out more: blogs.msdn.com
