I am your host Kimberly parsley and I'm Lisa McKinley. Thank you for joining us Yes, thanks. Everyone. We are interviewing or I'm interviewing today Danielle Burton. She is the Accessible communication accessibility editor for the American printing house for the blind and That's a mouthful but what it is is she's the person who they have a lot of people with people who are blind and deafblind and such in at American printing house and so she's the person who edits all the documentation and things they send out to make sure that it's accessible for screen readers and the like and I Want my own personal communications accessibility editor. What about you? So do I? And I want I want every company to have an editor Like wouldn't that be cool? Yes, that where they have to make sure that all the stuff they put out is accessible. That would be yes That would be equally awesome. So Danielle Burton is Wonderful, and she's amazing and you're really gonna enjoy my interview with her. She told me something about a I Don't guess you call it a language but a form of communication called haptics. And so basically what this is is where someone will will give you signals on the body to convey information about like the environment or social feedback or something like that like like if say your boss walk you're given in a presentation and your boss walks in and like that might be information that would be good for you to have but if you're blind you Can't see that right? so a person like assisting you would be up there and would like Tap on your back in such a way as to let you know that hey, the boss just walked in Wow, that would come in really really handy, wouldn't it? It would It really would and I I can't really figure out if it's I think there's an aspect to it That's formalized like I think there are certain things that mean certain colors or or things you know, I think there is a it's not formalized but standardized words that standard symbols and things and but some of it's not some of it's just cues or things that you would have worked out and of course it would she mentions like where they would like draw a thing or tap the signal or whatever on your back, you know, cuz that wouldn't interfere with what you're doing or I've seen this example of like I bet you've done this like where you're trying to get somewhere. So you open your hand Flat and someone kind of draws like a map on your palm Yes, not not an ink but just you know, like with their finger, you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah yeah, that would be so helpful in so many situations like, you know, like if I'm Talking about my kids and they walk in the room and I don't know it Your kids are in here. Yeah, that's that's a perfect example exactly I'm sure it's used for much more important things but yeah, I could see how in everyday little circumstances and we were just talking about how quiet my husband is and Kind of when we're out in public, he's super quiet and he's super quiet. Yeah. Yep I can't even let me know when he's a real hill just kind of rub his finger on the back of my arm and I know that he's Rejoined me wherever we are. So I mean, I guess that's maybe a form of haptic. I don't know. Yeah I think that that may be between you all that's kind of a non-standard form I know with me and Michael, you know if I'm walking sighted guide And I'm holding on to his uh, I'm holding on to his arm and let's say somebody says something Ridiculous, I guess he has this sign He'll kind of like he'll kind of like tap on my fingers where my hand where my arm My hand is on his arm and that tap means essentially What a load of crap, you know, it's like this secret eye roll It's like the ADA compliant eye roll you guys have Like because if I mean if people could see you know You look around and...
