Accessibility Awareness Lab
Help your team understand how people with disabilities experience and use technology.
Build understanding with an Accessibility Awareness Lab
Imagining how someone who is blind or has limited mobility uses a smartphone can be challenging. The Accessibility Awareness Lab helps your team understand and experience diverse ways to interact with technology when experiencing a temporary or permanent disability.
Through hands-on activities with assistive technologies and related products, your team will:
- Learn how people with disabilities use computers and websites.
- Experience the challenges of inaccessible technology.
- Gain insights from people with disabilities.
How the Awareness Lab works
Our Awareness Lab is an onsite, interactive learning experience led by Deque Experts. By hosting a lab, your team will:
- Explore various assistive technologies and innovative products.
- Gain awareness of different disabilities.
- Learn from people with firsthand experience at living with a disability.
