About this Course

Accessible design is a design process that specifically considers the needs of people with disabilities.

What you'll learn

  • Define accessible design
  • Define different types of disabilities
  • Locate and follow accessibility guidelines
  • Conduct accessibility audits
  • Recognize the value in testing audiences with different capabilities

Design an Accessible Form

In the final stage of this course, we’ll be using Figma to build a mockup of an accessible form. We’ll cover form design accessibility principles and take a look at resources to guide us. And by the end of this stage, you’ll be better prepared to communicate accessibility concerns to your development team as you reach the designer-developer handoff.
