Accessibility in UX research is often discussed in theory, but practical guidance for researchers can be harder to find.

A recent article by Aries Chu, a Design Researcher at SAP, fills this gap by translating two established methods, heuristic evaluation and cognitive walkthrough, into actionable tips for creating more inclusive experiences. These insights not only make accessibility research more approachable but also offer concrete strategies that researchers can apply in their day-to-day work.

This article makes accessibility research feel actionable, translating how known evaluation methods like heuristic and cognitive walkthrough, can be adapted to research inclusive experiences.

It’s rewarding to contribute to such a valuable resource that will support and inspire researchers to integrate accessibility into their work. The opportunity to share learnings from design annotations and inclusive research strengthens collaboration and drives greater impact in the field.
