Inclusive Design

Main Goal of inclusive design: make system accessible and usable to as many people as (reasonably) possible

How to achieve this:

• consider disabilities already in your design process
• optimize the system for the specific user with specific needs
• for evaluation broaden the participant group: diverse, great variety

Different kind of disability grouped by their Frequency in occurrence:

1. Permanent: Cognitive disability
2. Temporary: Learning, drugs, distress
3. Situational: Interruption, distraction

Accessibility

• is related to usability
• all users should have equivalent experience
• inclusive design also beneficial to all users
• universal design
  Different kind of access:

1. direct
   system is accessible without assistance
2. indirect
   system is accessible with an EXISTING assistive technology (e.f. screen readers)

Inclusive design addresses:

• Social aspects (e.g., manners)
• Cognitive processes (e.g., memory)
• Affective processes (e.g., trust)
• Perceptual/ motor skills (e.g., tremor)
