Grade 6 · Technology · Lesson 34

Inclusive and accessible design

Inclusive design is the habit of building digital things — apps, websites, games, slides — so that the widest possible group of people can actually use them. Accessibility is the part you can measure: can a person with low vision read the text, can a person who is deaf follow a video, can a person who cannot hold a mouse still use every button? When you design inclusively, you stop treating an average user as the only user. You assume difference is normal, and you build for it from the start.
