Accessibility Screener

When you recruit participants – either for research or for usability tests – you must
ensure your participants represent your target group or end users; otherwise, your
findings and results will not translate into something you can use.

To ensure you recruit the right people for your research and tests, you should define
the criteria for participants – for example, age group, geographical location and if
there is a specific type of experience they should or should not have. You can then
create a screener. A screener is a script and set of questions that you can ask people
to determine if they match your criteria.

When you run accessibility tests, in addition to your regular screener (demographic
information, how frequently they use an application, proficiency, etc.) include
questions related to participants’ disabilities. Use the questions below to help you
understand their context, and how familiar they are with assistive technologies.
Feel free to build upon and add more contextual questions.

1. Please indicate your current disability / disabilities.

Large physical movement challenges (walking, standing, climbing stairs, etc.)

Small physical movement challenges (typing, writing, touch scanning, etc.)

Speech challenges

Hearing challenges

Cognition challenges

Sight challenges

Accessibility: How to Design for All


Intermediate Course

The UN estimates that more than 1 billion people around the world live with some
form of disability and as populations age over the coming years, that number is
expected to rise rapidly. Add to that the 10 percent of people who have color
blindness, and you start to get an idea of why accessibility is so important—not just
for moral and legal reasons, but also so that your products can reach their full
potential. You need to design for accessibility!

In Accessibility: How to Design for All you’ll gain practical, hands-on skills that’ll
enable you to assess and optimize for common accessibility issues as well as learn
how to avoid classic mistakes. What’s more, you’ll also come away with the
knowledge to conduct effective accessibility testing through working with users
with disabilities.

This is one of our intermediate-level courses aimed at design-minded individuals


who are either already involved in UX within their organization or seek to grow and
improve their accessibility practice.

You earn a verifiable and industry-trusted Course Certificate once you’ve


completed the course. You can highlight it on your resume, your LinkedIn profile or
your website.
