"Good UX research is at the root of great products. It takes the guesswork out of our designs and helps us solve problems before they grow. One of the best ways to make our research effective is to keep it inclusive - testing with users with different needs and abilities, and using their feedback to build products that work for more people."
"If you are just getting started with research, you will find helpful tips for making your research more inclusive. You will also get a primer on how to ask better questions, understand your own biases, and how to use your limited time and budget effectively."
"If you are an accessibility-minded professional, you will find a deep well of details on different assistive technologies, how to include them in your testing environment, and ways to record and share your results to create a real impact on the products you make."
Accessible UX Research is a new book by Dr. Michele Williams that emphasizes inclusive user research as fundamental to creating effective digital products. The book addresses researchers at all levels, from beginners seeking to make research more inclusive to accessibility professionals needing detailed information on assistive technologies and testing environments. It covers understanding different types of disabilities, recognizing personal biases, maximizing limited budgets and timelines, and implementing accessibility throughout the design process. The book serves developers, managers, and designers by providing historical context, clear explanations of how different abilities affect user experience, and practical guidance for building products that work for diverse users.
