Ensuring that digital environments are accessible and inclusive for all people is critical for fairness, justice and productivity in our societies. This session will explore digital accessibility from the perspectives of those with disabilities who use such services and those who need to design them.
- How do we design inclusive online environments?
- What is it like to be disabled and use such environments?
- How has the pandemic and move to digital impacted and been impacted by inclusion?
- How do we move beyond technical standards compliance to ensure that people can actually use products.
