Improving Accessibility in Research for People with Disabilities
November 14 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Accessibility in research gives greater access to an often underrepresented audience, helps differentiate brands, addresses problems before they become costly, and improves experiences for all. Despite this, accessibility is too often not considered in the research process. Hear about how you can help change this! Members of the Accessible Insights Consortium (AIC) will share an accessibility toolkit developed by the Accessible Insights Consortium and released as part of a merger with Insights Association’s IDEA Council.
