Accessibility, Disability, and Technology

Accessibility, Disability, and Technology

This class will focus on how to think about disability in the context of design and socio-technical systems. Most accessibility content focuses on web accessibility for people who are blind or low vision. While this will be one component of the class, you will learn how to design for people with disabilities (e.g. hearing loss, cognitive decline, etc.) online and offline; how to design for visible and invisible disabilities; and how to design for permanent, situational, and temporary disabilities.
