Practical Ways to Include people with disabilities in design
summary
Practical recruiting channels include independent living centers, university disability offices, advocacy groups and social media newsletters; the workflow sends a short invite, pays participants, and lets them use their own assistive tech or be tested at home. Plan location access, elevators, paratransit timing and service animals. Use audits like Lighthouse accessibility audits and WCAG as baselines but expect gaps — a cited study finds about 60% of real user screen‑reader problems don’t map to WCAG — so record real users to show clients where fixes actually matter.
