Focusing on design students and professors at the University of Georgia, I conducted a study to assess the current level of accessible design education in the curriculum and explore strategies to simplify and improve its integration into design classes.
I then designed a pamphlet to document the findings from the study, along with the essential steps for designing inclusively, for distribution amungst students, professors, designers, and more!

THE PROCESS
Brainstorming+ Collaging
Desk Research
Curriculum Gaps:
- Accessible design is often treated as an add-on rather than a fundamental aspect of design education (Whitney, 2020) Existing Research:
- Research often neglects individual differences among software users, and there is a limited collaboration between human interface designers and those in the mainstream field. (Edwards, 1995)
Creating a Guideline
- A specific study in Siri Lanka focused on designing a guideline to overcome these web accessibility issues.
- (1)Limited access due to impairments. (2) User issues due to bad design. (3) Lack of available impaired-friendly applications. (4) Lack of communication. (5) Web Navigation issues
The Pamphlet on the back aims not only to identify existing gaps but also to propose practical solutions for a more inclusive and informed design community:
