Navigating the Digital Accessibility Landscape: Legal, Technical and Psychological Perspectives

Explore digital accessibility in our webinar

Our on-demand webinar, Navigating the Digital Accessibility Landscape: Legal, Technical and Psychological Perspectives, was created to provide you with a strategic opportunity to help you expand your reach and enhance usability. We explore the following four principles of accessibility as we look to create a better user experience (UX):

• Perceivable
• Operable
• Understandable
• Robust

Together with our partner UseTree GmbH, experts in UX and human-centered design, we address both the technical and cognitive aspects of digital accessibility. We help demystify the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and EU directives and uncover the real-world consequences of noncompliance. To help you understand what will be expected in the months and years ahead, our experts also highlight upcoming regulatory deadlines.
