Removing barriers for accessibility research: from awareness to expertise
Empower your team with the tools, empathy, and technical knowledge to design for everyone.
Whether you are just starting to explore inclusive design or you’re a seasoned UX Researcher looking to specialize in specific accessibility needs, we aim to remove the barriers for your accessibility research. Whether you are trying to get more buy-in or need to be prepared for your next session. We can help you out. We support doing research from a to y.
It all starts with awareness
To successfully make your accessibility research work, there has to be awareness. We offer various ways to build awareness within your organisation. These sessions are designed to spark curiosity and create immediate buy-in within your team.
- Awareness Sessions: Inspiring sessions led by experts by experience, understand the basics and get a glimpse on how your organisation is doing with regards to accessibility.
- "Exclusive" Persona Workshops: By flipping the perspective on design requirements and force a design for a specific group, people quickly understand that it's important to take everyone into account.
- Experience Plaza: An open plaze where people experience firsthand the barriers users face and the assistive technologies they use.
Specialized Training & Deep Dives
We provide structured training programs that turn theory into practice. Our curriculum ranges from high-level overviews to target-group-specific sessions.
- Inclusive Research Foundations: Learn the "how-to" of inclusive UXR through our inclusive research training or workshop.
- WCAG for UXers: A technical training into the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines that are important for UX-designers.
- Target Group Deep Dives: Want to be prepared for a research with a specific group? Request one of our deep dives and know everything you need to know. Read more on our deep dive page.
Operational Support: Making research possible
Research on accessibility can feel difficult. We can help you with all the operational support you need.
- Recruitment: Our own panel and our network make it possible to reach out to those people with accessibility needs you want to speak.
- Research Support: Need an extra pair of hands or eyes? We are happy to become part of your research team.
- Teaching on the Job: We are happy to share what we know, whilst helping out wherever needed.
Strategic Support: Making Research "Stick"
Inclusive research is only effective if it’s integrated into your organization's DNA. We don't just teach you how to test; we help you build a sustainable practice.
- EEA Consultancy: The European Accessibility act requires more than just a check on WCAG criteria of your website. Let us help you.
- Maturity Modeling: We analyze your current UX department to create a roadmap for growth, helping you move up the "Accessibility Maturity Model."
- Research Ethics & Logistics: From navigating the complexities of fair compensation for participants on social benefits to reviewing your entire participant journey (invitations, consent forms, and lab accessibility), we ensure your research is professional and respectful.
