AttitudeLive is an innovative web-based platform that will
transform the way people see disability.
Designed to be the home of disability content, it’s a place
where you can watch videos about life with a disability, share information and
connect to one another.
It’s a powerful tool for sharing important messages…and for
driving social change.
For nine years Auckland based Attitude Pictures have been
producing documentaries, giving a voice to the millions of people living in New
Zealand and around the world who live with a disability.
Now they’ve created an online space hosting their back
catalogue as well as new videos, blogs, supporting information and curated
content selected by the AttitudeLive team.
The brief to developers was simple: to create a site that
was accessible anytime, anywhere and by anyone.
That meant it had to look good and function well whether on
a desktop computer, tablet or smart phone.
With this in mind the technical team scoped the best
technology available internationally to deliver the most accessible
comprehensive integrated platform devoted to disability.
AttitudeLive has a range of accessibility features that
function on all devices including the most accessible video player available,
audio descriptions and closed captions.
There’s even the option of viewing the written content in
OpenDyslexic –a typeface specially designed for people with dyslexia.The design is clean and each section is colour-coded to help
users navigate the site.
It's an endeavour led by people with lived experience of disability and
embraces the voice of the broader disability community. The team at
AttitudeLive seek to empower people through the telling of strong human
stories, and by linking users to the global community.
