What you work through
- Keyboard walkthrough drills on complex widgets
- Focus ring and contrast exercises with measurable targets
- Semantic mapping between design components and roles
- Collaborative defect triage with mock engineering input
- Pattern library notes that highlight accessibility acceptance criteria
- Office hours for reviewing two screens from your portfolio
Outcomes
- Refine a component set with documented keyboard and screen-reader expectations
- Prioritise fixes using user impact and implementation cost
- Communicate accessibility trade-offs to non-specialist stakeholders
