Why Inclusive Design Benefits More Than Persons With Disabilities |

“When we design for the margins, everyone wins.”

Accessibility in tech isn’t about just meeting the needs of persons with disabilities (PWDs), but also about creating digital spaces that are inclusive and welcoming for all.

GovTechie, Immanuel Goh and Zheng Yurong unpacks how the Singapore government has developed tools to raise accessibility standards. Avid Tech Kaki member, Ng Choon Hwee, who is also visually impaired, recounts his experience in co-creating with product teams, such as Singpass, to make the app more accessible.
