[Hybrid] Rapid Prototyping with Accessibility in Mind from Day-1

Most organizations wait until after the solution is implemented to evaluate design with assistive technology users. Accessibility, in this case, is about remediating mistakes made earlier in the process.

By bringing accessibility early in the design/development process, you can enable product designers and researchers to include all users from Day 1. In this session, you’ll learn the tools and best practices for accessible rapid prototyping and running usability studies with users who rely on assistive technologies early in the design process.
