Full mobile accessibility is a matter of respect: GuAMA update process for motor and hearing disability users

Published: 22 October 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Over the years, it was possible to perceive an increasing inclusion of those with some type of disability, especially individuals with severe or moderate visual impairment. In the literature, it was similarly possible to note a higher interest in studies regarding accessibility, digital inclusion, and even greater humanization for this part of the population that used to be neglected (more than a quarter of the population in several countries). However, there is still a real lack of critical analysis, research and more appropriate and adequate references about improvements in accessibility aspects for individuals with motor and hearing impairments. Given this scenario and considering GuAMA as a mobile application accessibility guide, which is currently focused on visual impairments, this paper aims to present the continuous research process that extends GuAMA with new requirements to improve the mobile accessibility for the motor and hearing disability groups.
