About Us

Products and services for the public often exclude people with disabilities. The Accessible UX lab intends to change that.

Capitalizing on the decades of expertise housed in CIDI, the Accessible UX lab aims to conduct collaborative UX testing with people with disabilities, for people with disabilities, to create better products for all.
