Timed events can be altered
There should be options to adjust any timed events so the user can work at their own speed. There may be issues with this test in relation to games and some assessments and this must be taken into account where the user is unable to work quickly. (CEUD 2.2, IBM 4.5, VPAT section 1194.21 (l)).

Method
Manual check to evaluate where timed responses are required and their impact on all users. Try the response extending the time to reply and check how the software reacts. If options are offered this is good but if the screen changes with chance to request more time this is unhelpful. There should be various notifications as actions occur.
