Invisible differences – such as sensory, learning, and cognitive – are part of a spectrum of experiences for which there’s no singular solution for accommodation. So how can user experience research practices aim for accessibility for all?

Join us to discuss important strategies for conducting user research with people who have a spectrum of invisible differences. There are no one-size-fits-all accommodations, but experts Meryl Evans and Nikki Nolan share their best practices for both living with their own invisible disabilities and working with this important population. Curiosity Tank founder and UX researcher and educator Michele Ronsen lead the discussion.

Topics we’ll cover:

• How accessibility accommodations benefit more than the targeted audience

• Differences within invisible differences (and the accommodations they need)

• Involving people with invisible disabilities throughout the development process

• Inclusive writing for people with cognitive differences

• Working with and leveraging internal Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

• Self Identification within the disabled community and key terms

This morning's event proceeds benefit Knowbility whose mission is to ensure equal access to technology for people with disabilities.
