Accessibility is often the last challenge taken up in designing the user interface. A color scheme is created and shown to the team for review. 'But what about people who are color blind?, ' someone will ask and a small groan goes around the table. Or the screen layout template for a web site is almost complete before anyone considers how it will work with a screen reader. The problem, of course, is that people with disabilities are not usually considered during the process of user segmentation. Their needs, which fall outside of the matrix, become an afterthought to the design.

Abstract: Accessibility is often the last challenge taken up in designing the user interface. A color scheme is created and shown to the team for review. 'But what about people who are color blind?, ' someone will ask and a small groan goes around the table. Or the screen layout template for a web site is almost complete before anyone considers how it will work with a screen reader. The problem, of course, is that people with disabilities are not usually considered during the process of user segmentation. Their needs, which fall outside of the matrix, become an afterthought to the design.
