In practice, it’s neither straightforward nor obvious — and it’s difficult to figure out how to make the right design choices early to prevent issues down the line. What does European Accessibility Act (EAA) mean for you? How would you design for young children and older adults? What about users with dyslexia and colour blindness? How do we test with screen reader software? What about multilingual UX and localisation issues? And what should we keep in mind when designing sustainable, inclusive and privacy-friendly experiences — e.g. for mental health applications or LGBTQI-friendly forms? In this practical 3.5h-workshop, Vitaly will take a deep dive into UX and design guidelines, hundreds of real-life examples, best practices, and guidelines for truly accessible, inclusive, universal design. Expect to leave with a toolbox of insights and practical techniques to apply to any project!

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is a directive of the European Union (EU) which took effect in April 2019.[1][2] This directive aims to improve the trade between members of the EU for accessible products and services, by removing country specific rules. Businesses benefit from having a common set of rules within the EU, which should facilitate easier cross-border trade. It should also allow a greater market for companies providing accessible products and services. Persons with disabilities and elderly people will benefit from having more accessible products and services in the market. An increased market size should produce more competitive prices. There should be fewer barriers within the EU and more job opportunities as well.[3]
