Tamar Shapira: Developing Tools to Increase Accessibility in Digital Products

Tamar Shapira: Developing Tools to Increase Accessibility in Digital Products
Tamar: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! At SenseIT, our mission is developing tools that enable development teams to release accessible digital products for people with disabilities. This means, we develop tools that can be used while developing a web app that can test and help to fix issues that are found in the product associated with accessibility (for example, your favorite social media app can’t be accessed by my friend who is paralyzed in both arms). We focused our effort on finding issues that are related to how people with disabilities could or could not use the product being developed (for example, my paralyzed friend must use apps that are compatible with his technological devices that enable him to browse).
