- Sally: Lives in New Zealand, background in nurse but PhD in Computing
- 21:10:34 [Kim_patch]
- Sally: Live in New Zealand, I'm a nurse but I have a PhD in computing just to confuse people. Accessibility started for me when I was an undergrad computer science student many years ago and that I went back to nursing. Went back to it later in life. I teach nursing in a university but I have a lot of informatics. I've just gone from legally blind to what we consider totally blind but I still some.

- Two research projects – there's a lack of guidelines and standards. That's what literature and my experience of developing keep telling me

- VJ: Autistic didn't find out till recently – projects helping all people build multimedia access statements and workplace need assessments. I've been living the world of digital publishing – iPad and not a fancy iPhone have been my life. It has created those barriers simple stuff that you take for granted like filling in application form somewhere creating a textbased document and whatever the native application is. Applying for things.

- I also do a lot of research into technology in general – it's one of my fun areas – I see great potential as a tool for neuro- divergent people. A lot of issues but also access and inclusion. I want to spearhead for people impacted and mobile devices limited access to services that are being provided in any meaningful way through mobile services

- 21:25:10 [Kim_patch]
- Perrin: Noticing examples of situational impairments without saying what they are – for example touch targets might be useful for someone a subway etc. just want to call them out. Help get more empathy beyond accessibility community
