Getting started with accessibility research and testing

Accessibility testing doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Whether you’re just getting started or building buy-in across your team, this two-part webinar series will help you take confident, informed steps toward inclusive product development.

Unlocking the value of accessibility testing with Assistive Technology users

Learn why accessibility testing matters, what assistive technology really looks like in action, and how real users uncover insights that automation can’t. This foundational webinar will give you the context you need to start meaningful conversations about accessibility and usability across your organization.

You’ll learn:

  • Why accessibility goes beyond compliance, and why testing with users matters
  • What assistive technologies (like screen readers, voice navigation, and switch devices) are, and how people use them in daily life
  • The limitations of automated testing tools, and why human insight is essential
  • What small steps you can take to start exploring inclusive testing in your work
