A more holistic approach to accessibility: Priyanca D’Souza

Join us for our next pep- talk, where Priyanca D’Souza talks about how we can take  a more holistic approach to accessibility.

We often separate out different aspects of accessibility. However, it’s not uncommon for people to experience multiple barriers which compound each other. If we zoom in too much on solving a problem for one group of people, we can involuntarily make experiences less inclusive.
But real people can’t descope parts of their lived experience. The complexity of real lived experiences still exists even if we don't research or design for it.

You’ll come away from the talk with a more nuanced and human approach to accessibility and design research which goes beyond compliance. This is hopefully more effective and more reflective and true of how things really are.

Priyanca is a Senior User Researcher in the public sector, specialising in Accessibility and Inclusion. She has recently worked on complex projects for GDS, Cabinet Office, Defra and Companies House.
