Insights
→ Lack of accessible access to data visualizations is a significant equity issue.
→ It’s not only visual impairments that can restrict access but also other kinds of disabilities including cognitive and learning disabilities, and motor disabilities.
→ Overcoming this challenge requires visualization practitioners, visualization and accessibility researchers, and the relevant disability communities to work together.
