Designing for accessibility supports inclusive design.
Keep in mind that for every student who discloses a disability, several others may not disclose theirs.
Also, inclusive design supports not only permanent disabilities but also temporary and situational needs.
By creating accessible content, we’re creating inclusive classrooms for all students.

Inclusive Design is hosted on Illinois Media Space and was created by Tim Yang as part of the Illinois Lighthouse Project.
Inclusive Design Principles are about putting people first. It’s about designing for the needs of people with permanent, temporary, situational, or changing disabilities — all of us really.
They are intended to give anyone involved in the design and development of websites and applications – designers, user experience professionals, developers, product owners, idea makers, innovators, artists, and thinkers – a broad approach to inclusive design.
