Re: System Usability Scale with Blind Users

The other value to sharing results is that it will give a better sense of
baselines. Tom Tullis, Jeff Sauro and Jim Lewis did a rather large-scale
collection that led to Jeff's publication of baseline scores.

It would be awesome to be able to add more data, collected with users with
disabilities.

However, before someone jumps on this, I am NOT suggesting (in fact would
oppose) a "disability baseline". There is no reason to do so, and many
reasons not to.

However, I could see a project that could measure things like satisfaction
among a wide variety of users before and after a major accessibility
remediation.

If anyone is interested in pursuing this, I'd be happy to connect you to
Jeff or Tom, so that the data can be aggregated with their previous work,
giving us a richer, integrated, and even a little longitudinal view.
