Wayne Dick, Meryl Evans, Julian Wang
Session Summary
Panelists will share individual user experiences, what barriers they face, and their thoughts on how a program like Teach Access can support their independence.
Description
As we gather at sessions like AccessU to think and plan for greater accessibility, it is important to practice putting the actual user at the center of those plans. This session is meant to help attendees understand what questions to ask, what to listen for, and how to ensure that authentic user experience remains at the center of the teaching and learning we do about digital accessibility.

- Understand that compliance may not be enough to meet user needs and the value of putting the user at the center of design decisions.
