30 guidance statements support this user need:
- Accessible routes - For stationary or installed systems, people may need tools to provide a route that is accessible to me, or information about barriers on the way.
- Alternative to auditory alerts - For systems that provide auditory alerts regarding critically important information, people may need to receive visual or tactile alerts instead.
- Alternative to tactile alerts - For systems that provide visual alerts regarding critically important information, people may need to receive auditory or visual alerts instead.
- Alternative to visual alerts - For systems that provide visual alerts regarding critically important information, people may need to receive auditory or tactile alerts instead.
- Appropriate safety level - People may need the system to provide an appropriate level of safety (including physical safety, and safety of my data, finances, legally, etc.).
- Avoid excessive heat - For systems that require physical operation, people may need to limit the amount of heat (or other radiation) on controls so that it does not cause discomfort or injury.
- Avoid excessive heat - For systems that provide tactile content, people may need to limit the amount of heat (or other radiation) felt at touch points so that it does not interfere with their ability to perceive tactile information
- Equivalent privacy control - For systems that collect private information, people with disabilities may need the system to maintain my privacy and provide them the same amount of control of their personal information/privacy as other users.
- Error prevention - For systems with possible errors, people may need submissions to be checked, confirmable or reversible
- Harmful triggering content - For systems with potentially triggering content, people may need to identify sensitive content in advance and avoid it.
- Harmful visual content - For systems that provide visual content, people may need to identify flashing, motion, and other visual effects that can harm them and avoid it.
- Motion errors - For systems that use motion based input, people may need to turn it off.
- No audio seizure triggers - For systems with audio output, people may need to to avoid auditory patterns that cause seizures.
- No chemical harm - People may need to systems made of safe material, that do not give off chemicals to which they are sensitive or have an allergy.
- No electromagnetic harm - People may need to have systems that do not give off inappropriate electromagnetic radiation.
- No reliance on specific sense to avoid injury - For system the presents content and other stimuli, people may need alternative versions of content that do not rely on a specific sense to avoid injury.
- No visual seizure triggers - For systems with visual content, people may need to be able to avoid visual patterns that cause seizures or adjust the viewing of such visual patterns so that they are safe.
- Noticeable non-auditory alert - For systems that present auditory, time-sensitive alerts, people may need the alerts to be in a format that they will notice immediately, such as flashing lights or insistent vibration.
- Noticeable non-visual alert - For systems that present visual, time-sensitive alerts, people may need the alerts to be in a format that they will notice immediately, such an auditory alert or insistent vibration.
- Obvious, avoidable hazards - For systems that include hazards, people may need the hazards to be obvious, easy to avoid, and difficult to trigger.
- Pointer errors - For systems that allow pointer input, people may need to correct or undo pointer mistakes.
- Privacy protection - For systems that collect private information, people with disabilities may need the system to protect their privacy, even when they are not doing things that other users might be expected to do to guard their own privacy.
- Private data entry - For systems that collect private information, people need positive assurance that sensitive information they enter, such as password or national ID, is not displayed on the screen.
- Recognize human - For systems that use biometrics, people may need human-detection tools that recognize that people who do not look like everyone else are human and are present with equal reliability, for purpose of obstacle avoidance, non-bot verification, etc. This includes tools operated by other people.
- Redundant Entry - For systems that require data input, people may need to avoid entering data more than once.
- Repetitive strain injuries - For systems that require that involve extensive repetitive actions for input, people may need alternate input devices or approaches.
- Safe without reliance on alerts - For systems that present alerts, people may need to use the system safely even if I miss an alert or hazard warning.
- Turn off tactile output - For systems with tactile output, people may need to turn off the tactile output from a system.
- Turn off visual output - For systems with visual content, people may need to turn off the visual output from a system.
- Voice input errors - For systems with dictation and voice commands, people may need to minimize mistakes that occur because of mistaken speech (e.g. operations are tied to a single letter shortcut)
