Test Drive Accessibility: 2 Interactive Tools for Hands-On Understanding

As we continue to celebrate Disability Celebration Month at SDSU, today we are highlighting two fun, interactive tools to learn about Accessibility.

Accessibility Maze Game

Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) has created an Accessibility game on the web, designed to help those new to web accessibility experience firsthand what it is like to encounter those barriers. The game introduces a number of common barriers players must work around, mirroring the experience of those who encounter these obstacles daily, and provides quick lessons on how to avoid or correct them.

The game can be found at the following link: Accessibility Maze Game - TMU

HMRC's Virtual Empathy Hub

His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC) Digital Inclusion and Accessibility Standards team have created a series of web training tasks that simulate web navigation with various disabilities. These webpages are designed to help experience the web from different perspectives and gain more understanding of accessibility issues people face.
