TEACHING DESIGN FOR ACCESSIBILITY

Everyone benefits from accessible design. From curb cuts to captions, things that make the world accessible for people with disabilities have benefits for all users. To make the digital and physical worlds of tomorrow accessible to all people, today’s design students should have an appreciation and basic understanding of how to design for accessibility. This presentation will discuss fundamental concepts of accessibility and include examples, tools, and resources for teaching students how to start designing for accessibility.
