What is the Accessibility in UX Workshop?

The Accessibility in UX Workshop is a comprehensive, practical training session that teaches the core principles of digital accessibility. Through hands-on exercises and real-world projects, participants learn essential accessibility methodologies and inclusive design best practices.

Legal Compliance

Many countries require digital accessibility by law. Non-compliance can lead to lawsuits and fines. The UK’s Equality Act 2010 mandates accessible digital services for public sector websites and apps.

Wider Audience

Accessible design reaches more users. About 15% of the world’s population lives with some form of disability (World Health Organization, 2021). In the UK alone, there are over 14 million disabled people (Scope, 2023).

Better UX for All

Features that help users with disabilities often benefit everyone. Think of curb cuts—designed for wheelchairs, but useful for all. Similarly, captions benefit not just deaf users, but also those watching videos in noisy environments.

SEO Benefits

Many accessibility practices, such as proper heading structure and alt text for images, also improve search engine optimisation.

Why Accessibility in UX Matters

✓ Legal Compliance: Organisations that implement accessibility best practices reduce the risk of legal action and regulatory non-compliance, helping teams avoid costly lawsuits and penalties (W3C, Web Accessibility Initiative, 2023)

✓ Market Reach: Designing for accessibility expands your potential audience, ensuring products can be used by people with diverse abilities and improving overall user experience (Interaction Design Foundation, 2023)

✓ Brand Impact: Prioritising accessibility strengthens brand reputation and demonstrates social responsibility, which can increase user trust and loyalty (Forrester, The Business Impact of Accessibility, 2022)

Components of Accessibility in UX Workshops

Accessibility Fundamentals Master the principles of digital accessibility, WCAG guidelines, and understanding different types of disabilities.

Visual Accessibility Learn techniques for color contrast, text scaling, responsive design, and supporting screen reader users.

Interactive Elements Explore accessible navigation, form design, error handling, and keyboard accessibility patterns.

Content Accessibility Discover how to create accessible content, including proper heading structure, alternative text, and meaningful link text.

Testing & Validation Learn how to conduct accessibility audits, use testing tools, and validate compliance with accessibility standards.

Implementation Strategies Master practical approaches for implementing accessibility features and maintaining them over time.

Companies that invest in accessibility training improve compliance and create more inclusive digital experiences, while organisations without training are more likely to face accessibility issues and complaints (WebAIM, 2023).

Tools Utilised

Participants learn to use tools like:

Screen readers (e.g., NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
Colour contrast analysers (e.g., WebAIM Contrast Checker)
Keyboard navigation testing
Automated accessibility checkers (e.g., WAVE, axe)

We also practice manual testing techniques, as automated tools can only catch about 30% of accessibility issues (WebAIM, 2022).
