Accessibility and Block-based Languages: Challenges and Opportunities
This presentation will discuss current issues in accessibility to block-based languages to users with disabilities. Different facets of access will be presented, using Blockly as an example, though the intent is to provide a generalized discussion of the challenges and opportunities to increase access for the various systems in the field. Demos of current work with Blockly will provide some points of discussion, as well as technical context for how accessibility can be provided.
