3. Crossing the Gap
Some things I noticed
Accessibility
Functional Requirements (I need X) FEAR You have condition Y
Its not me
Its not who I am
Its not what I need, its what you need me to have
It may be misused
Myers-Briggs-Jung
Intuitive Types ? FEAR Sensory Types

4. How to cross the gap
• Sometimes the model is the best we have:
• E.g. Medical Model of Accessibility – medical
Science IS a model – it develops
• We forget they are approximations not reality
• How can we get past this problem ?
• Being explicit about it ? Developing explicit
mappings from the model to implementations ?
