1. A Comprehensive Guide to Accessible User Research: Part 1 – Project Planning

   @BrianGrellmann’s first blog post of a series about taking an inclusive approach to accessibility in design research.

   Things to consider:

   • Goals
     • Continuous research with fewer participants or dedicated research with more participants (former is better)
   • Fatigue
     • Longer sessions ~90mins
     • Review the session design to avoid fatigue
   • Budget
     • Potentially a harder recruit, allow for more recruitment time and incentive cost
   • Location
     • Some labs may have specific accessibility software but need to be accessible
     • Paricipant’s home/workplace offer more contextual insight to other access needs
     • Location of test incurs more travel cost
     • Remote tests must use accessible software and ability to capture audio (screenreader)
