Inclusive Design for Accessibility

By: Dale Cruse, Denis Boudreau

Overview of this book

Despite our growing reliance on digital technology, millions of users are still excluded from fully engaging with websites, apps, and digital services because nobody thought to design for them. Inclusive Design for Accessibility challenges you to rethink how you build digital experiences, offering the tools and guidance needed to move beyond compliance and create experiences that work for everyone. With contributions from twelve accessibility leaders—Dale Cruse, Denis Boudreau, Dr. Angela Young, Maya Sellon, Julianna Rowsell, Nandita Gupta, Jennifer Chadwick, Crystal Scott, Chris McMeeking, Dr. Keith Newton, Charlie Triplett, and Kai Wong—this book lays out the fundamentals of inclusive design and its application in advanced and emerging technologies. You'll discover practical strategies and real-world examples that show you how to embed accessibility into projects, from user research and testing to creating accessible websites and mobile apps. You’ll also focus on how AI can enhance accessibility and learn to tackle the challenges posed by VR and AR. For designers, developers, product managers, and business leaders, this book will reshape how you approach inclusive design, helping you move beyond ticking boxes toward building digital products that don't leave anyone behind.

In this chapter, we’ll cover how to create accessible content that reaches as wide an audience as possible – one that includes people with disabilities. We’ll look at the content types of text, images, and multimedia, and which formats of these are best for people’s needs. We’ll discuss the importance of using plain language when writing information, labels, and instructions. I’ll provide you with guiding principles to keep your writing style inclusive for all.

At the end of the chapter, I’ll share a Needs Walkthrough exercise you can do as a writer to test-drive...
