CPACC Exam - Question 17


Images and icons that can explain content, navigational elements that are clear and large enough to touch, integrated speech output, and total keyboard accessibility that can be translated to switch access are ALL design practices that can facilitate the use of which type of assistive devices?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AD

Augmentative and alternative communication devices are designed to aid individuals with speech and communication disorders. The use of images and icons to explain content can help these users to understand and convey messages. Navigational elements that are clear and large enough to touch facilitate ease of use for individuals with motor impairments. Integrated speech output supports those who may have verbal communication limitations. Total keyboard accessibility that can be adapted to switch access allows users with physical disabilities to interact with the device effectively. Therefore, these design practices are best suited for augmentative and alternative communication devices.

Large touch surfaces enable a tactile interface, for those who use screenreaders (blind/low vision individuals) to be able to quickly and easily identify where a button is (eg the 'play' button which is a triangular shape to perhaps start screenreader functionality or a tactile bump to allow blind users to be able to find the headphone jack to plug in their headphones as is common on ATMs)

I think the wording of this question is a little tricky since it's asking which design techniques will facilitate which assistive technology and doesn't say that all techniques apply. AAC supplements speech or compensates for speech impairments for those with communication disorders. Most of the techniques apply to screen readers.

D. Screen readers Images and icons that can explain content, clear and large navigational elements, integrated speech output, and total keyboard accessibility are all design practices that can facilitate the use of screen readers. Screen readers are assistive technology devices that convert digital text into synthesized speech or braille output for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. These design practices ensure that digital content is accessible to users who rely on screen readers to navigate and interact with websites and applications.
