“I build awareness about the importance of accessibility by creating a proposal for an accessible persona card and sharing my creation with others”
While a person/user with no significant sensory, physical, or cognitive limitations will be able to use the accessibility cards just fine, a different-abled person (e.g., colour-blind autistic or dyslexic bilingual person) will not.
Choose one card from the Accessibility Cards set and redesign it in such a way that it accommodates for the needs of a different-abled person/user. The redesign can take a physical or digital format.
