Event Summary: This class will help web and app designers create more accessible designs. It will walk through common design patterns and examples drawn from years of coaching teams on creating usable and accessible designs. The class covers visual design, user experience design, and content writing and assumes basic knowledge of accessibility and screen readers. The design principles apply to any platform, but the class does have more web examples than native app (no PDF or software). How code and ARIA influence design will be mentioned but no programming knowledge is necessary. Attendees will leave the class with a detailed design guide and links to further reading
