Digital Accessibility

Digital accessibility ensures that individuals with disabilities can effectively use digital products and devices. This includes features such as screen readers that read text aloud for visually impaired users, closed-captioning on videos for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and alt text for images to provide descriptions for those using assistive technology.

At the University of Pretoria, ADIS is committed to promoting digital accessibility by providing equipment, resources, and expertise to improve the usability of digital content. Our services include:

• Usability testing to assess the accessibility of websites, apps, and digital platforms.
• User interviews and focus groups to gather feedback on accessibility barriers.
• Digital accessibility reviews to evaluate and enhance compliance with accessibility standards.

Consulting & Lab Services

The ADIS computer lab is available by appointment only for in-person usability testing and consulting. We also offer remote support via email or virtual platforms such as Google Meet to assist students, staff, and developers in making digital content more inclusive.
