New version of our Accessibility Assistant (AdA) co-designed with Plena Inclusión Comunidad Valenciana

As you know, We have been collaborating with Plena Inclusión CV for some time now., and as a result of this joint work we have developed a new version of AdA (Accessibility Assistant), our digital tool that adds extra accessibility features to any website.

But AdA is not just any tool.

Unlike other solutions on the market, AdA has been validated and redesigned from the ground up by the end users themselves. —the validators of Plena Inclusión in the Valencian Community—, using Social Innovation methodologies. People with cognitive disabilities have participated throughout the process: evaluating, proposing improvements and, ultimately, co-creating with us.

In this new version, We have improved the panel design, texts and pictograms, making it even easier to understand the tool itself.

Thanks to this collaboration, AdA is now more useful, understandable and inclusive.

This collaborative effort has been recognized with the Valencia City Council's Diversity Innovation Award.

Will you help us spread the word?

This project has been presented as a best practice and may be selected as one of the best at the National Meeting on Full Inclusion Spain 2025.

Give us a push.

We look forward to your 5 stars here.

Guide to Alternative Image Descriptions

0

Alternative descriptions (or "alt text") are essential to ensuring that images on the web are accessible to all users, including those with visual impairments who use screen readers. Below are guidelines for when and how to enter these descriptions.

When to Include Alternative Descriptions

  1. Informative Images:

    • What are they: Images that contain essential information, such as graphs, diagrams, maps, etc.
    • To do: Provide a description that conveys the information presented in the image.
    • Example: For a bar chart showing quarterly sales: “Bar chart showing that sales in the first quarter were 10,000 units, in the second quarter 12,000 units, in the third quarter 8,000 units, and in the fourth quarter 15,000 units ”.

  2. Functional Images:

    • What are they: Images that act as links, buttons or other interactive elements.
    • To do: Describe the function of the element.
    • Example: For a search button with a magnifying glass: “Search Button.”

  3. Decorative Images:

    • What are they: Images that do not provide information or have a specific function, they only improve the visual design.
    • To do: Use an empty alt (alt="") so that screen readers ignore them.
    • Example: If a page has a decorative flower border, the alt text would be alt="".

  4. Text Images:

    • What are they: Images that contain relevant text.
    • To do: Include the text present in the image in the alternative description.
    • Example: If an image contains a sign that says “50% sales on all clothes”, the alt text would be: “50% sales on all clothes”.

  5. Complex Images:

    • What are they: Images that contain complex information that cannot be fully described in a short alt text (for example, detailed infographics).
    • To do: Provide a long description on the page itself or link to a separate page with the full description.
    • Example: For an infographic about the water cycle: “Detailed infographic about the water cycle. More information available at the following link: [link to detailed description].”

How to Write Alternative Descriptions

  1. Be Concise and Clear:

    • Descriptions should be brief and direct, describing the content and function of the image.

  2. Avoid Redundancies:

    • Do not repeat information already present in the context close to the image.

  3. Be Accurate:

    • Make sure the description accurately reflects the content of the image.

  4. Use Neutral Language:

    • Avoid assumptions about the context or interpretation of the image.

Practical examples

  1. Image of a Person Reading:

    • Description Alt: “Person reading a book in a park.”

  2. Buy Button:

    • Description Alt: “Buy button”.

  3. Diagram of a Solar System:

    • Description Alt: “Diagram of the solar system showing planets orbiting the sun.”

  4. Background Decoration:

    • Description Alt: alt="".

  5. Complex Infographic:

    • Description Alt: “Detailed infographic on climate change. More information at the following link: [link to detailed description].”

Conclusion

Including alternative descriptions on images is not only an essential practice for web accessibility, but also improves usability for all users. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your content is inclusive and accessible to a broader audience.

What is the WCAG Web Accessibility Regulation?

0

What is WCAG?

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) are guidelines developed by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) to make web content accessible to all people, including those with disabilities.

These guidelines provide detailed recommendations to improve the accessibility of websites and ensure a fair experience for all users.

 

Compliance Levels:

Level A: Establishes the basic guidelines, the first step towards a more accessible website.

AA level: It goes further, addressing a wide range of barriers to improve usability for a broader audience.

AAA level: It represents the highest level of compliance, ensuring a complete and equitable user experience for those with disabilities.

 

Relationship with legislation

The WCAG is closely linked to both European and Spanish legislation on digital accessibility. Although it is not a law in itself, it is used as a reference to establish digital accessibility standards in both jurisdictions. For example, the Public Sector Website and Mobile Application Accessibility Directive (EU 2016/2102) in Europe and Law 34/2002 and Law 51/2003 in Spain refer to WCAG as a guide to comply with the requirements. accessibility.

 

Complying with WCAG standards is essential to ensuring your website is accessible to everyone, thereby promoting digital inclusion and equal access.

The universality of digital accessibility: beyond permanent disabilities

0

In today's digital world, accessibility is essential to ensure that everyone can fully enjoy the online experience. However, we often associate digital accessibility only with people with permanent disabilities. But what about those who experience limitations temporarily or in specific circumstances?

Imagine this: a deaf person struggling to understand a video. Now, transfer that experience to a noisy environment, where even listeners find it difficult to grasp the content. Isn't it amazing how one limitation can resonate in different situations?

The same goes for the challenge of aiming accurately at a screen, as faced by a person with Parkinson's. This difficulty is not so different from what an older person may face when trying to maneuver a mouse deftly.

That's why digital accessibility is not only a matter of inclusion, but also of convenience and usefulness for a wide range of users.

These examples illustrate how the limitations faced by people with permanent disabilities can be reflected in temporary or situational experiences for other users:

For Visual Limitations:

    • Permanent:
      • Blindness: Facilitate voice interaction.
      • High myopia: Allow zooming on the screen.
      • Color blindness: Sufficient contrast.
    • Temporary:
      • Cataracts, Conjunctivitis: Allow zooming on the screen.
      • Glare from strong lights: Sufficient contrast.
    • Situational:
      • Do not look at the screen, like when driving a car: Facilitate voice interaction.
      • Darkened mobile screen due to low battery: Sufficient contrast.


For Hearing Limitations:

    • Permanent:
      • Deafness: Subtitled.
    • Temporary:
      • Not understanding the language well: Subtitled.
    • Situational:
      • Noisy environment: o Subtitling a video, a quiet one, like a library: Subtitling.


For Mobility Limitations:

    • Permanent:
      • Spasticity, loss of an arm, Parkinson's, osteoarthritis: Enough size for one hand.
    • Temporary:
      • Sprain, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome: Enough size for one hand.
    • Situational:
      • Using the cell phone with one hand while the other is used to hold on to the bus: Sufficient size for one hand.


For Attention and Concentration Difficulties:

        • Permanent:
          • Autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: Simplify the presentation of information.
        • Temporary:
          • State of anxiety, Low educational level, low language proficiency: Simplify the presentation of information.
        • Situational:
          • Perform another activity, such as babysitting while viewing mobile content: Simplify the presentation of information.

At Accesia Solutions, We understand the importance of addressing these needs comprehensively. Our approach is not limited to solving specific challenges, but extends to creating digital experiences that are truly universal and accessible to everyone, at any time and in any situation.

The WCAG Accessibility Regulations update their criteria in version 2.2

0

Version 2.2 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2) represents a significant step forward in improving online accessibility.

This updated set of guidelines, presented by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) on October 5, 2023, focuses on addressing new needs and challenges to ensure that everyone can access and use online resources effectively.

So what does WCAG 2.2 entail? First of all, introduces nine new criteria that must be considered when auditing the accessibility of a website.

The new criteria specifically address issues related to navigation, data entry, minimum contrast, error messages, and navigation simplification, reflecting a broader and more comprehensive approach to online accessibility.

In addition to the inclusion of these new criteria, the elimination of criterion 4.1.1 stands out from the previous version, considered obsolete due to technological advances that have improved the handling of parsing errors by browsers and assistive technologies.

At Accesia Soluciones we understand the importance of keeping up to date with regulations and legal obligations regarding web accessibility..

If you are looking to ensure that your website meets current standards and is fully accessible to all users, Do not hesitate to contact us.

We're here to help you ensure your online presence is inclusive and accessible to everyone.

It is essential to act now to ensure that your web portal meets established accessibility standards, which will not only help you comply with the law, but will also position you strategically and demonstrate an ethical commitment to equity and inclusion.

 

Benefits of Complying with Legislation

Complying with the EAA is not only a legal obligation, but can also have significant strategic benefits, such as an increase in conversion rate, improved brand reputation, and increased search engine visibility.

 

Conclusion: Moving towards Equal Digital Access

The implementation of the EAA in 2025 marks an important step towards equal digital access. Businesses must act now to ensure their websites are accessible to everyone, which not only complies with the law but also improves user experience and promotes online inclusion.
