Description

We chat to Molly Watt, Accessibility and Usability Consultant at Sigma.

Molly has Usher Syndrome, a genetic condition that leads to deaf blindness, which she developed at a young age. We hear from Molly about her experiences of school as someone with accessibility needs, and the challenges she experienced with inaccessible ways of teaching. We get an insight into her trip to Apple HQ in Cupertino, and why this inspired her to pursue a career in accessibility consultancy.

We learn about the importance of inclusive design in web services, and why people need to stop associating accessibility with disability. Molly shares her passion for helping people, and we hear how the Molly Watt Trust charity is helping many people with usher syndrome to access the technology they need.

An must listen for anyone designing and delivering inclusive public services!
