Re: [AI] Advocates for Blind, Deaf Want More From Apple
Excelent post. Thanks-Original message- From: Rahul Gambhir Sent: 12-07-2014, 10.04 pm To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] Advocates for Blind, Deaf Want More From Apple Advocates for Blind, Deaf Want More From Apple Reuters, July 09, 2014 Source: http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/advocates-for-blind-deaf-want-more-from-apple-555727 Advocates for the blind are debating whether to use a carrot or a stick to persuade one of their oldest allies, Apple Inc, to close an emerging digital divide in mobile technology. As digital life increasingly moves to the world of smartphones and tablets, some disabled people with visual, hearing and other impairments are feeling more left out than ever. As baby boomers retire and age, the number of people needing help is multiplying. Many disabled advocates believe federal law requires that apps be accessible, but courts have not ruled on the issue. Few disabled want to risk alienating Apple, considered a friend, by fighting it. Mobile apps that work well can transform a blind person's life, reading email on the go or speaking directions to a new restaurant. Some young blind people no longer feel the need to learn Braille to read with their fingers, when Siri and other computer voices can do the reading instead. Captions on videos and special hearing aids bring hearing impaired into the digital fold. But when apps don't work, life can grind to a stop. Jonathan Lyens, a San Francisco city employee, who is legally blind, has a hard time browsing jobs on professional networking site LinkedIn. The app is insane. Buttons aren't labeled. It's difficult to navigate, said Lyens. When it comes to social media apps, new problems arise with every release, he said. I get nervous every time I hit the update button. LinkedIn has hired an accessibility chief, Jennison Asuncion, who himself is blind, and says it is working to improve the app. Still, advocates of the disabled want the problem solved by the company at the center of the app world Apple. Rival Google Inc, whose Android operating system drives more phones than Apple, is also under pressure, but as the creator of the modern smartphone and a long-time champion for the blind, Apple is feeling the most heat. Apple hasn't been a steady champion: the National Federation of the Blind sued it in 2008 over accessibility of iTunes. Apple settled, agreeing to pay $250,000 and adding captions and other accessibility improvements to iTunes. Since then it has added more such features to its iPhone, iPod, iPad and Apple TV products. Now, Apple and Google both have developer guidelines on how to make features accessible, such as labeling buttons that can be read by Apple's VoiceOver software. But they don't require accessibility, in contrast to other strictly enforced rules, such as a ban on apps that present crude or objectionable content. Nor do they offer an accessibility rating system, which some disabled advocates say would be a big help. That is where the new debate starts: should the blind return to court for protection they believe is guaranteed by law, or nudge their old ally to work harder? Should they pursue app makers, as some lawyers have, or Apple and Google? Attorney Daniel Goldstein, who brought the suit against Apple in 2008 as counsel for the National Federation of the Blind, said the 2008 action could provide a model for a suit focused on apps, but the Federation says no lawsuit is being considered. At last week's National Federation of the Blind convention, members approved a resolution to press Apple to create and enforce accessibility standards. In the halls there was some debate about whether or when to play hard ball over requirements that apps be accessible. It's time for Apple to step up or we will take the next step, said Michael Hingson, board member for the National Association of the Blind's California chapter, describing litigation as the only resort if Apple did not bring accessibility requirements to the app store. To be sure, Apple, Google, Twitter and other technology companies have increasingly accommodated users with impairments in recent years. Many developers are ready to help when they learn there is a problem, said Chris Maury, whose Conversant Labs builds apps for the visually impaired. I try to lead with the carrot and not the stick. It's better to inform developers that accessibility is the right thing to do and an opportunity to reach a whole new base of users.

Re: [AI] Kafila: Disability Rights And Parental Activism - Can They Co-Exist? Shubhangi Vaidya
It is difficult to organise a cross disability movement because some sections are not able to speak for themselves, wile others are vary vocal, there will always be problem when ever we try to undertake to do something in common. Under the circumstances each one should look after their interest.

Cc: jnuvision Subject: Re: [AI] Kafila: Disability Rights And Parental Activism - Can They Co-Exist? Shubhangi Vaidya Hi friends, Excellent and thoughtprovoking blog indeed. I have been thinkind for several years whether western models of disability could be superimposed in a society that is ridden with so many inadequacies and unsurmountable inequalities. I firmly believe that parents need to be involved in the disability movement at least for those disabilities that cannot speak for themselves. Also, treating disability as a homogeneous subject is absolutely absurd. A blind and orthopedically disabled is comparatively better exposed than those with hearing disabilities and the intellectually disabled and mentally retarded have a long way to go. Probably that is the reason why many corporates and civil society organizations shy away from getting involved in our affairs. I would welcome a discussion on the topic. I have some more to say subsequently. With best wishes, Ketan On 3/7/14, avinash shahi shahi88avin...@gmail.com wrote: Guest Post by SHUBHANGI VAIDYA http://kafila.org/2014/03/06/disability-rights-and-parental-activism-can-they-co-exist-shubhangi-vaidya/ Parents are valuable allies in the Disability Rights Movement thanks to their intimate engagement with persons with disability. To view them as representatives of a 'disabling' society does them a grave injustice. However, the heated debates over the new Rights for Persons with Disabilities Bill introduced in the Rajya Sabha have seen a confrontation of stances between two groups along these lines. The first group consists of vocal self-advocates who point out a number of weaknesses and contradictions in the Bill from a Rights perspective, citing the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability ratified by India in 2007. The other group is a loose coalition of 'cross-disability' activists including lobbying for a speedy passage of the Bill, with crucial amendments, in what is the last session of this Parliament and of the government of the day, which just happens to be UPA. It is important to note that this Bill has not just dropped down from the heavens; it is the end result of years of protracted consultations, contestations, confrontation by stake-holders across the sector. I do not propose here to go into the pros and cons of its provisions; rather, I wish to highlight a rather disturbing trend that I discern in the frenetic exchanges between some self-advocates in the sector and parent activists on the social media. Disabled activists seem to have bought the notion that parents are 'on the other side', representing the voice of a disabling society that would isolate and exclude persons with disability and subject them to a regime of charity, pity and welfare. They would deny persons with disability their rights, agency and full legal capacity thereby entrapping them in relationships of power and dominance to which they must meekly submit. This formulation is a product of the power and appeal of the 'social model' of disability which has been the ideological epicenter of the Disability Rights Movement which emerged in the United Kingdom in the 1970s and 1980s with the seminal works of scholars like Mike Oliver, Vic Finkelstein, Colin Barnes and others. Disability is viewed as a social creation, the result of inaccessible environments and societal attitudes rather than individual 'impairments'. Despite the model's great resonance and appeal to those with physical disabilities, it lacks explanatory power when we talk about conditions like autism, and other 'mental' disabilities where there is an embodied reality, a real difference in being in the world that must be acknowledged and respected. For persons with autism, severe intellectual disabilities, etc. whose mental capacities and modes of engagement with the world are qualitatively different from the rest, the need for support is an undeniable reality which it will be short sighted and cruel to deny. To assert, for example that a person with severe autism is able to exercise full legal capacity and that any attempt to provide guardianship and support is plenary guardianship by any other name betrays an appalling lack of awareness about the daily lived realities of persons with 'high support needs' and their family. To assert that special schools or home schooling violate the right to 'inclusive' education

Many time, drivers Cunducters both cooperate me in precisely. But, yesterday's experience was somewhere, horible. When I climbed on buss, for 4 5 minits I did not get my sit. After getting it, the travelers are starting to talk very rudely. Just because, I was talking on phone about an advertisement or whatever. They had started to creat the arguements about my handicapness, that also after seing that my eyes are closed. Very important thing is driver and cunducter both had not cooperated with me, in fact, cunducter had also started harassing me, by saying See see walking with free passess. When I shown him his mistake, then, he said, now stop other wise, I will take the buss at the police station. I forced him, but he had not done it. When I talk to our Moderator Mr. Harish about it, he instantly passed me the told free number of BEST and I launched my complain. Heart felt thanks to Mr. Harish Sir, for this number. But, many times we face some kind of difficulties while climbing in buss. Before climbing they start buss. If we ask not to do it, then, they clearly ignore it. Even if, we ask the stops they don't response for it. I am not speaking it about the all the cunducters, but, many time it happends with me. My experience says here. Not me.

I remember 1 girl, whom cunducter strictly told to left the buss, just because, she had not a single coin. Friends I am not blaming all the cunducters. I use harsh language here, because, at once, when I asked for a website, someone has sent me as an attachment of photo and was trying to call me again again. He was doing it when I warned him. In that case, what should I do? I think, it is not wrong, if I told in a strict manner that no personal mails are allowed. I talked to Harish Sir about it. If he doesn't have any objection then why you are telling me on my personal mail or AI List what to do from my side? I am not rude but, sometimes such boyes does this kind of wrong things then what should 1 girl do? What are you expecting from her? Please don't comment if you don't know anything about anyone.

Dear Friends, We are all aware that politics plays major role in our country to highlight or solve the issues of vulnerable communities, but in my knowledge, I did not hear from any political party those who are talking about the issues of people with disabilities because they don't feel that disability community should be vote bank for them, perhaps they don't know about our strength in the society. I feel that this is another reason of our exclusion because till now disability is not an issue for GOVT. But my concern is that is there any political party who wants inclusion of people with disabilities to empower them to understand the importance of their one vote? Yesterday, I went to the poling booth to use my voting right to my favorite leader, but when I reached and asked them to give me escort but they said that we don't know about escort, however I managed and gave my slip to officer and reached to voting machine, but there was no Braille sticker so I faced difficulty to identify the button but I asked my relative and gave my vote, after voting, I asked concern person that you are not following instructions of supreme court then he said thatnobody gave us any kind of instruction. After this incident, I called media and highlighted this issues, and I will definetly file complaint to state election commission because they did not follow the supreme court order in 10 districts of Madhya Pradesh. Friends, It is a very serious issue if I will not come out from my house to use my vote then nobody will talk about your issues, therefore disability community is facing this problem. Now we should wake up and we should use our vote to show our strength to the political parties otherwise nobody will talk about our issues.

If you could mention specific points that may need elaboration / clarification then I will be able to give more focused responses. In any case I am putting down some more of my thoughts to add to the details, if it helps. Suggestion is based on a much broader perspective and with a long term horizon in view. It is intended to extend enabling means of a better life to which some of us are fortunate to have. Many organizations and individuals are already working with that underlying objective. This suggestion is primarily to take that effort to greater scale, and enable an / or guide motivated individuals within our community to achieve it. It is understandable that only a small part of the total group strength may be looking to take up such a role / initiative, and that is why we may need a larger gathering of aware individuals to finally have a handful of such new leaders. It is my firm belief that even if only a small number of individuals may be the target audience of this, it could have a significant impact in a few years timeframe. Since individuals come from different backgrounds and have different levels of knowledge / awareness / expertise of various aspects of successfully running such initiatives, if we can create a pool of mentors and guides who are experienced in various associated fields it could be a real enabler. Also, it would allow individuals within our community to realize a sense of fulfilment, while generating employment, extending help to many others, and possibly touching upon several new focus areas.

The society, which sympathizes with a begging person's blindness doesn't respect the honour and spirit of a blind selling small things or doing some meager labours.

What influence can the begging blind people have on other blind people who do not beg? Why would any blind person want to beg in the first place? Can the reason be different from that of a sighted begger?

Better we raise our own voice and don't become subjects of others as was reflected when Salman Khursheed's wife Louis Khursheed's NGO was in question and Arvind Khejriwal used this opportunity to cash in the moment. but Now Tickets are being given, but where is disabled candidate contesting on behalf of AAP? And yes, as far as NGOs are concerned, Most of the NGOs are individual-centric as mentioned by Nilika Mehrotra in her piece 'Disability Movement in India: Politics and Practice'. I'm pasting few sentences from the piece very interesting read indeed: 'Post the PWD Act, in fact, a large number of disability issues related NGOs have been set up. Many are small in size; the smaller ones are flexible in terms of receiving funds and moving from project to project and are not necessarily directed in their actions by the state. But, these groups also suffer from personality cults and remain leader centred. Ghai (2003) argues that disability rights organizations are dominated by the concerns of middle-class men. The problem, however, arises when their fight for 'disability rights' subsumes agendas that are visible and significant only for the very privileged of the disabled. Concessions in air travel, hotels, and special parking facilities, though undeniably necessary, are meaningful only to a selected population of the disabled. The truth is that these issues do not resonate in the lives of the majority of disabled who are further marginalized by virtue of their class, caste, rural or urban residence, and most strikingly, gender. What is and should be more significant for them are the issues of education, employment, residence, technological aids, and accessibility, to name a few. The reality, however, is that the majority of the disabled are still fighting to secure the 'bare minimum'. (Mehrotra, 2013).

Re: [AI] query about JAWS and NVDA
