Designing Disability-Inclusive ICT: A Primer

Four practical fixes — contrast, alt text, structure, labels — grounded in WCAG, plus inclusive channel design for low-connectivity users.

About this course

Accessibility is the difference between a digital service that works for everyone and one that quietly excludes people. This primer grounds you in the standards that matter (UN CRPD, WCAG, EN 301 549), walks through the four fixes that solve most problems, and widens the lens to channel inclusion — serving citizens on basic phones as well as smartphones. For national-scale strategy, continue to Building a National Universal Access Strategy.
