Why is Accessibility So Hard?
Accessible design is inherently challenging because it’s not a "settled science." Standards are constantly evolving—sometimes even in conflict with one another. This course will cut through the confusion.
Our discussion/exploration will:
- Review compliance missteps and achievements in real-world scenarios
- Identify phases of the design process where various concerns are best addressed
- Help you create a clear plan for accessibility success
- Address questions, comments, and concerns from members like you
Hear from accessibility experts and learn from the experiences of your peers in this clarifying course.
Course expires on 4/19/2026.
