An application to raise awareness about the proper approach of people with disabilities

People often, wanting to help a person with a disability, put a person with a disability, but also themselves, in an awkward position due to the wrong approach, after which they feel bad and give up access to people with disabilities in any future situation. Therefore, the purpose of this application is to show on practical and life examples what is correct in this context. The application was developed in collaboration with associations whose members are people with different types of disabilities, and it covers various everyday situations (eg waiting at the station, entering the elevator, crossing intersections, parking, etc.) in which the need to initiate communication often arises . The application in an attractive way, with the choice of one of the two offered avatars, shows different everyday situations and in the form of a kind of quiz leads the user to the correct knowledge about access and forms of communication with people with disabilities. In addition, the application is also accessible, which means that it can be used by people with different types of disabilities, more precisely, certain adjustments are built in, such as the option to increase the screen (Zoom) and change the font. Also, the Web version of the application has a built-in screen reader simulator - Narration.
