Building for Disabled Power Users
Many companies build software with a focus on accessibility from a bare minimum compliance perspective which is incompatible with the persona of the highly effective disabled person/working professional. In this talk I will teach you how to think in terms of excellence and optimal outcomes for your disabled users while going over some case studies from companies who are great at this (Discord, etc) and ended up making better user experiences across the board with their strategy.
