Accessibility User-Testing & User-Research – Making sure you build what users really want
Digital Accessibility ExpertsShow Notes
Accessibility audits are great at making sure your experience meets standards and guidelines, but often people forget the real reason for accessibility – the user.
There are multiple benefits of user testing with people with disabilities: it can unlock insights you may otherwise never have found, and ensure you are building solutions that work for all users, not just against guidelines.
And user-research with people with disabilities will give you confidence that what you create serves a need. So how do you get people with disabilities into your user-research and user-testing without it costing the earth?
Jonathan Hassell was the Exec that led this change at the BBC, and Yac Woozeer did so much user-testing with people with disabilities in UK government that he can now guide organisations through how they might respond to products in our Live Audits. In this webinar, they discuss: The benefits that can come from testing your product/service idea, product or service with real people with disabilities, rather than just getting people with disabilities who are tech experts to review them How co-creating with people with disabilities can eliminate costly assumptions, drive innovation, and deliver meaningful experiences How to involve people with disabilities in your user-research and user-testing, with examples of how to do this for people who are blind or have a learning difficulty Examples of how to make the most from the expertise you gain from doing this work, by capturing insights in internal Guidelines or expert evaluation methodologies This audio was originally recorded as a webinar.

Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) sparks many important conversations about accessibility. But once the awareness day is over, the practical questions begin. Questions like: Where should we start? How do we get leadership to care? How do we secure budget? What should we focus on when resources are tight? How is AI changing accessibility? How do we hold suppliers accountable for accessibility? How do we challenge misconceptions about accessible design? In this special ‘Ask Us Anything’ session, Jonathan Hassell and consultants from Hassell Inclusion answer these questions submitted by attendees and share practical advice based on the challenges organisations are facing right now.
Making events and meetings accessible for all is something we’re asked about again and again. Whether it’s a team meeting, a webinar, a workshop in your offices, or a large conference, ensuring people with disabilities can fully participate isn’t optional.
In the current business climate, continuing accessibility progress can feel uncertain in many organisations. Budgets are tighter. Priorities are shifting. And, in some cases, the momentum that once existed around accessibility is starting to slow – or even move backwards.
Building on our 2025 webinar, Creating Accessible Documents, this session moves the conversation forward.
Each year, digital accessibility evolves – new technologies emerge, regulations shift, and organisations adapt to rising expectations from customers, employees, and stakeholders.
