Designing with accessibility in mind enables people with a range of abilities and disabilities to perceive, understand, navigate, interact with, and contribute to the web.

How do you research accessibility?

Broadly speaking, accessibility research takes shape in two ways: 1) at each stage of your usual research plan, you include participants with access needs (i.e. 2 of your 8 participants have an access need), or 2) at select stages of your research, all your participants have access needs.

What is accessibility design?

Accessible design is a design process in which the needs of people with disabilities are specifically considered. Accessibility sometimes refers to the characteristic that products, services, and facilities can be independently used by people with a variety of disabilities.
