End user testing from print disabled people

Involving Users in Evaluating Web Accessibility

The best feedback will always come from end-users with disabilities.  Evaluating with users with disabilities and with older users identifies usability issues that are not discovered by conformance evaluation alone.

In most cases, including users in evaluation involves:

  • getting a few people with disabilities - and depending on your target audience, older users
  • including them throughout the development process to complete sample tasks on prototypes so you can see how the different aspects of the design and coding could be improved
  • discussing accessibility issues with them
