People with sensory disabilities (PwSD) encounter social and academic interaction barriers in interaction through face-to-face and over broadband. For face-to-face environments, evolution in social consensus and legal mandates have led to universal access interfaces such as the implementation of sidewalk ramps and curb cuts for people with mobility disabilities, captions for people with hearing disabilities, and auditory descriptions for people with visual disabilities. These mandates not only aid the small universe of people with permanent disabilities, but also the larger universe of people with temporary or situational disabilities. For example, a sidewalk ramp not only benefits people with mobility disabilities, but also people with temporary disabilities (broken leg) or with situational disabilities (wheeling in a heavy package). Similar social consensus and legal mandates are not yet well developed in the evolving broadband environment that aims to mirror face-to-face interaction. This paper argues for a social consensus on accessible multimodal interfaces that complement the new and future broadband interaction possibilities. Broadband interaction accessibility can re-create new academic and social communities as well as improve outcomes among people with sensory disabilities.
