AnswerLab’s Complete Guide to Accessibility Research

Up to 1 in 4 Americans have some form of disability, whether mobility, cognitive, auditory, or visual. By failing to consider accessibility in your product development cycle, you’re excluding 25% of Americans by default.

Building accessible products isn’t just a legal requirement; it’s the right thing to do. But across the U.S. companies are confronting an increase in lawsuits levied against them for inaccessible digital assets. What could have been done to prevent these types of lawsuits?
