What you'll learn

Expand how you think about accessibility

Move beyond contrast and font sizes to include motion sensitivity, neurodiversity, and diverse abilities.

Design for real people, not edge cases

Learn practical approaches for designing for left-handed users, neurodiverse users, and younger and older adults.

Measure accessibility impact

Understand how to assess accessibility beyond compliance and connect inclusive design to real outcomes.

Apply accessibility in real-world contexts

Explore good and bad examples of how teams implement accessibility and drive change inside organizations.

Why this topic matters

Accessibility isn’t a checklist or a one-time compliance task. Designing inclusive experiences improves usability for everyone, reduces risk, and creates better products. By understanding diverse needs and measuring accessibility beyond compliance, teams can build more resilient products, influence organizational change, and clearly demonstrate the business value of inclusive design.
