Common accessibility challenges people face online

Lisa Webster

This presentation aims to highlight the different barriers a person may face when navigating online spaces, demonstrating the frustrations of an inaccessible website.

I will explore different types of disability (physical, cognitive, visual, speech, and hearing); and the common challenges faced when accessing websites. I will discuss ways in which we can improve these issues and things we should be avoiding.

This presentation is beginner level and not specific for developers. Rather a thinking point for everybody as accessibility should be understood by all team members.
