We Are All Affected by Disability (a Survey)

[Author: Bill Fischer]


It’s not unusual for us to think that disability is something that affects a small number of people. However, that is far from the truth. When I decided to commit to accessible design for media, the first thing I did was try to find out just who these folks are. I was surprised at the depth and breadth of who we need to design for and just how connected I am to them personally. And, that sometimes, temporarily, I am one of them.



I have created a one-minute survey that measures how connected we are to persons with disabilities. I’ve administered the survey to many groups, at presentations and events, as well as my classes at Kendall College. The results are always surprising and illuminating.


This is a random running survey. You can participate if you click the survey button below and fill it out. Once you click the submit button, you will have the option to see all of the results up to that time.
