Inclusive UI design
summary
Ran recurring blindfolding sessions with 50 blind kids every six months for weeks to simulate real blindness and surface concrete UX failures. Demonstrates six practical fixes: explicit labeling and alt text, screen-reader-friendly reading order and grouping, hiding decorative elements, and adjustable large type. Shows how VoiceOver gestures work—swipe left/right, three‑finger page swipe, double‑tap—and recommends turning on VoiceOver/ screen reader to test. Claims these steps measurably reduce friction for visually impaired users and make interfaces actually usable rather than merely pretty.
