“Last year we successfully trained 100% of researchers in accessible and inclusive research practices, and this is the mindset that research comes so early in the product development journey that we’re able to be translators of issues, what we’re hearing in the market, what we’re hearing directly from our travellers, and include that in the product development journey.” - Maya Alvarado, Senior Accessibility Researcher at Booking.com

“I’m an avid traveller. I’ve done a lot of travelling over 20 years. When people ask me for advice on trying to plan a vacation, the planning part is so important, booking a hotel room, booking your airfare. Over the past several years things have gotten a lot better, which is great, but we still have a long way to go.” 
-Kevin Penny, Fable tester

Mobile device usage is at an all-time high, but we hear from designers and developers that they are uncertain how to make native mobile apps accessible to people with disabilities. While there is guidance in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) on mobile accessibility, and guidance from Apple and Google on making iOS and Android apps accessible, dense guidelines can be overwhelming for someone new to mobile accessibility. 

Fable recently surveyed our community of assistive technology users to get a better understanding of the accessibility barriers encountered on mobile devices and the extent accessibility influences purchases.
