Infusing Accessibility into Computer Science Education

How do we ensure that the next generation of technologists creates computing products that are accessible to people with disabilities? As Computer Science educators, this means raising students' basic awareness and literacy about Accessibility principles and teaching more advanced software design principles so that students are empowered to design hardware and software products that can be used effectively by people who have difficulty reading a computer screen, hearing computer prompts, or controlling the keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen, and more. Accessibility is directly relevant to any course involving human-facing applications such as web and mobile development, software engineering, and human-computer interaction.
