Translate Article

Teaching accessibility is crucial to ensuring that accessibility principles are integrated into the design and adoption of software and other aspects of lives. The existing literature on accessibility education is largely siloed, appearing primarily in computer science and related disciplines. Understanding the similarities and differences in teaching accessibility across different disciplines is vital for enhancing educational effectiveness by leveraging lessons learned from each field. This workshop aims to serve as an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and education practitioners to discuss topics taught, approaches taken, resources utilized, and challenges encountered when teaching accessibility in different disciplines.
