Through the articles and videos from some of the leading figures in the field, you have learned a little more about their own practice, their motivations for getting into this area, and their thinking on what it means to truly design with accessibility in mind.

Importantly, you’ve also taken part in discussions with your fellow learners. This has given you the opportunity to develop your own understanding of the issues at hand, and also engage with alternative ideas. We hope you’ve found that useful and inspiring.
