Accessible Design for Different Abilities
Disability is a “mismatched interaction between the features of a person’s body and the features of the environment in which they live” (World Health Organization, 2011). In this studio, we will address this mismatch through multimodal interfaces, inclusive design thinking practices, and the implementation of accessible features to create products that are better for everyone. Together, we will explore how to build a world that better supports people such as neurodivergent students who are learning online, blind users who navigate technology with screen readers, or elders with limited mobility who are living independently.
