One day we’ll all benefit from someon Accessibility and inclusive design: Back to basics
Without understanding the basics, how are we able to move forward and innovate? This 20-minute talk is split into two sections. The first part will state the facts about the many, not the few, and challenge the assumptions we may have about the topic of accessibility. This will be followed by a short story highlighting that disability can and will affect us all at any point in our lives.
