H. Alabi, and B. Gooch. Proceedings of the 10th SIGPLAN Symposium on New Ideas, New Paradigms, and Reflections on Programming and Software, page 145--148. New York, NY, USA, ACM, (2011)

Abstract
We propose the creation of a repository of inclusive mobile application design tools and techniques. The repository will be based on existing and future research in the realm of accessibility and initially only available to academic researchers developing user studies. These developers may browse tool features based on operating system, ease of implementation, modality and range of user ability within each particular modality. To educate developers, the toolkit will utilize user personas for each modality that exemplify how users might use the features in the repository. The proposed framework will make it easier for developers to accomplish their tasks, potentially making academic user studies and focus groups more inclusive to those with disabilities. This toolkit is not a one-size fits all solution, but rather a guide and repository of best mobile accessibility practices in the absence of an international standard. It represents one solution to a multifaceted problem that extends beyond the academic environment.
