- 12. bit.ly/a11yBLC17 Thoughts on Accessibility from Tech Leaders “For us, we believe very deeply that accessibility is a human right. And we try very hard to make all of our products accessible for everyone because of that. And so it's a basic value. Think back to how Apple was founded, and it's still the case today, we make tools for people to do incredible things and change the world with them. And that's everybody, not a particular group of people.” - Tim Cook, CEO of Apple “In order to truly reduce the unemployment rate for people with disabilities, we must come together and reduce barriers in education, training, hiring and the workplace.” - Megan Lawrence, Accessibility Technical Evangelist, Microsoft “One of Google's core principles is ‘Focus on the user and all else will follow.’ The Google User Experience (UX) team believes that usability and accessibility go together. We integrate accessible design thinking throughout the entire product development cycle.” - Google Accessibility

- 20. bit.ly/a11yBLC17 Christine Sun Kim, sound artist As a Deaf person living in a world of sound, it's as if I was living in a foreign country, blindly following its rules, customs, behaviors and norms without ever questioning them. So how is it that I understand sound? Well, I watch how people behave and respond to sound. You people are like my loudspeakers, and amplify sound. I learn and mirror that behavior. - Christine Sun Kim, The enchanting music of sign language. TED talk.

Then I realized I should just put the box aside. This box had a set of rules developed over time. And everybody else worked with sound.” - Wayne Betts, Jr, The Deaf Lens. TEDxIslay talk.
