As UX researchers, you already know that including people with disabilities in your research isn’t just about accessibility, it’s about unlocking innovation. But what does that look like in practice? And what happens when inclusive design is left out?
In this session, Samuel Proulx, Accessibility Evangelist at Fable, will take you beyond theory and into the real-world impact of inclusive research. Through compelling examples, like how people with disabilities forever changed the way we read, or how a lack of inclusive input led to autocorrects embarrassing (and sometimes harmful) errors, you’ll see how accessibility-driven insights shape the products we use every day.
Whether you’re refining your research methods or making the case for inclusive design in your organization, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to ensure your work leads to products that don’t just meet compliance, they change the game.
Join us to learn how accessibility fuels innovation, and how you can be part of it.

Ever heard that accessibility research is too expensive? Too time-consuming? Or that you need a massive sample size to see real insights? These misconceptions stop too many UX researchers from taking the first step toward inclusive design. But here’s the truth: accessibility research is often simpler, faster, and more impactful than you think.
In this interactive session, Samuel Proulx, Accessibility Evangelist at Fable, will demonstrate the actual reality behind the biggest myths that hold teams back, through a hands-on look at what accessibility research actually looks like. You’ll experience a real research interview with an assistive technology user and gain practical insights into how Fable’s UX researchers prepare for and conduct accessibility studies.
By the end of this session, you’ll see that getting started doesn’t require a huge budget, complex logistics, or a massive sample size, just the willingness to take the first step. Join us to demystify accessibility research and leave empowered to integrate it into your own work.
