Designing with accessibility in mind: a conversation
At TechCrunch Sessions: Justice, we examined the importance of ensuring products are designed to be accessible from the beginning. And how building the expertise of disabled technologists and advocates into the DNA of your company from the start is vital not only to produce better products but also in the pursuit of a functioning and more equitable society.
On the panel were Cynthia Bennett of Carnegie Mellon University’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute; Srin Madipalli, who founded accessible travel marketplace Accomable (which exited to Airbnb); and Mara Mills, associate professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University and a co-founder and co-director of the NYU Center for Disability Studies.

When you are able to navigate a world that is designed for you, it’s easy to avoid thinking about how the world is designed for you. But it can be different if you are disabled.
At TechCrunch Sessions: Justice on March 3, we will examine the importance of ensuring accessible product design from the beginning. We’ll ask how the social and medical models of disability influence technological evolution. Integrating the expertise of disabled technologists, makers, investors, scientists and software engineers into the DNA of your company from the very beginning is vital to the pursuit of a functioning and equitable society. And could mean you don’t leave money on the table.
