Avoiding misconceptions on your accessibility learning journey

Using my own learning journey, I will highlight frequent misconceptions about accessibility and give resources to get better at it whatever your role is.

We'll see that:

• accessibility doesn't have to be hard and technical
• disability and the way people are affected is varied
• it's not just about interfaces and screen readers
• there's hardly ever a single fully accessible solution
• simulations are not enough
• you need to involve disabled people
• being a disabled person doesn't make you an accessibility expert

Participant takeaways:

• Better understanding of what people need to learn and do, to become better at accessibility
• Awareness of the usual misconceptions preventing people to really improve the accessibility of their design
• Resources to learn more after the session
