Giving a damn about accessibility

A candid and practical handbook for designers.

Digital accessibility is the inclusive practice of ensuring that everyone has equal access to information, functionality, and experience on digital platforms.

Many accessibility guides out there are either too prescriptive (making it seem like a checklist), too aspirational (painting a utopian picture that doesn’t drive action), or too charity-driven (driving the point that people with disabilities are to be pitied).

This handbook is a little different.

We at the UX Collective have partnered with our most prolific accessibility writer, Sheri Byrne-Haber, CPACC, to bring a more candid take on the topic. 

Inaccessible products are broken products. The first step to fix them is to give a damn.

Thank you for doing that,
