Re: Remote usability testing with disabled people

Hello Beranek,

I've gone to face-to-face interviews. My role was to get in touch the
disabled testers and the user researchers. To be honest, user researchers
didn't know anything about how to behave when you are interacting with
people with access needs. They were kind of nervous and embarrassed and
testers felt it. A well-done face-to-face testing is definitely better than
a remote testing. However, user researchers don't necessarily have the
expertise. That's why I want to offer them the most easiest and suitable
way of doing user testing so that they will be more inclined in involving
disabled people.
