Abstract
SIGACCESS has been on the forefront of hosting accessible scientific conferences and providing guidelines for other ACM SIGs. However, promoting and assessing adoption of best practices is an area that benefits from shared work and attention across multiple SIGs. For the past five years, Access SIGCHI, a growing community of Human-Computer Interaction scholars who advocate for accessibility in academia, has been working with SIGACCESS and leadership and volunteers within ACM SIGCHI to promote accessibility within SIGCHI. As one of the two largest special interest groups within ACM, and the largest with a focus on Human Computer Interaction (HCI), SIGCHI sponsors 20 conferences and over 40 in-cooperation conferences and other such gatherings. Interest in accessibility-related research has seen recent growth across SIGCHI conferences, as indicated by the introduction of a "Health, Accessibility and Aging" subcommittee at the flagship CHI conference in 2017. This article shares results from Access SIGCHI's third bi-annual report on the status of accessibility practices and policies within SIGCHI, including progress to date and recommendations for continued improvement.
