Integrating Accessibility and Disability into the Computing Curriculum

AccessComputing, Mar 02, 2022
Presenter(s): Richard Ladner & Amy Ko (UW), Kristen Shinohara (Rochester Institute of Technology), and other computing faculty from various institutions.
In this SIGCSE affiliated session, faculty shared about how they have integrated accessibility and disability topics into their computer science (CS) courses. There are certain courses, such as web or app design and development and human-computer interactions, that should be addressing accessibility because of the human-facing nature of software. Less obvious are courses, such as intro CS, computer vision, natural language processing, data compression, software engineering, and others, that can also have accessibility and disability content.
