Accessibility Toolkit - Empathy Workshops

Organisations seeking to build a deep and effective understanding of accessibility in their teams need to go beyond theoretical knowledge. They must grasp what it's truly like to live with a disability and how it impacts engagement with digital services. The best way to spread knowledge about inclusive design is to demonstrate the challenges faced by people with disabilities and the effective solutions that they can implement.

Our empathy workshops provide hands-on experiences that allow participants to truly grasp the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. These workshops are designed to foster empathy and inspire a commitment to creating accessible products and services.

What to Expect from Our Empathy Workshops

Our empathy workshops offer a unique and interactive approach to learning about accessibility. Participants will engage in a variety of activities that simulate different impairments and explore the use of assistive technologies. Here’s what you can expect:

• Interactive stations: Participants rotate through interactive stations that simulate various impairments. This includes wearing glasses to experience visual impairments, using simulation gloves to understand limited dexterity, and more.
• Assistive technology demonstrations: Explore how screen readers and other assistive technologies work on both desktop and mobile devices. Gain insights into how these tools assist users in navigating digital content.
• Hands-on experiences: By simulating the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, participants gain a deeper understanding of the importance of inclusive design. These hands-on experiences are designed to be eye-opening and impactful.
• Expert discussions: Our workshops provide a valuable opportunity to discuss accessibility with our expert consultants. Learn from their experiences, ask questions, and gain practical advice on how to prioritise accessibility in your work.
