This week, Intopia launched the first ever Assistive Technology Survey,
aimed at highlighting the trends and use of assistive technology by
Australians and New Zealanders that have a disability.
Over the past decade, surveys such as the WebAIM Screen Reader Survey have
provided important insights to organisations on how they need to make their
online products and services more inclusive and accessible to everyone.
Typically, less than 5% of people who take part are from Australia or New
Zealand. This survey will identify how Australians and New Zealanders use
technology and assistive technology. It will provide important insights to
government and corporate sectors, and considerations to put the needs of
users first.
The survey can be completed by any person over the age of 18 in Australia or
New Zealand that has a disability and uses any form of assistive technology
to help them navigate the digital world, or any accessibility setting on
their computer or mobile devices. Nearly every question in the survey is
optional, which means that you only share the information that you're
comfortable with sharing. The survey is also anonymous.
The survey will be open until the 5th of May. High-level results from the
survey will be released on Global Accessibility Awareness Day, which this
year will be held on Thursday May 20. Full results will be released in June
2021. All results will be made publicly available through the Intopia
website for free.
You can participate in the Assistive Technology survey through the Intopia
website. If you have any questions about the survey, you can contact us

Intopia acknowledges the support of Blind Citizens Australia, Blind Citizens
New Zealand, VisAbility, Royal Society for the Blind and Next Sense in the
development of the Assistive Technology Survey.
