SUMMARY - Unintended Exclusion in Mainstream Tech

Most technology designers don't intend to exclude people with disabilities. They're simply not thinking about disability when they make design decisions. This unintentional exclusion may be less malicious than deliberate discrimination, but its effects can be just as harmful. Understanding how mainstream technology inadvertently excludes—and how to prevent such exclusion—matters for everyone who designs, develops, or deploys technology.
