When we think of accessibility, we think about usual suspects — the color contrast, legible font sizes, mobile tap targets. However, accessibility isn’t a checklist.

To design inclusive experiences, we need to consider motion sensitivity, neurodiversity, people with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, left-handed people — and know how to better design for children, teenagers and older adults. So, how do we do that?
