Comment Disabled = disinterested? (Score 1) 201
Blind : Prescription Eyeglasses,
No Legs : Running Shoes,
No Hands : Gloves,
No Ears : Ear Muffs....
the list can go on...
Not to be crass, but it's not that hard to envision some products that disabled people have no need for. Also, what if you could claim that the small percentage of the market that handicapped people represent (for your product), is not worth the extra investment in usability testing. (I realize that is a stretch, because the extra time is minimal usually.. but for arguments sake) Would you want someone saying 'Do it anyway.'?
