Everybody has a different learning style!

Everyone takes in information in their own way. Some do better with certain types of learning styles than others. As designers and content creators, we have the ultimate responsibility of ensuring that all information we provide is as easy as possible to receive and understand regardless of the user’s physical and mental capabilities.

Tools for Life – Georgia AT Program’s YouTube video on UD principle 4: Perceptible Information

Recommended Guidelines:

  1. Use different modes (pictorial, verbal, tactile) for redundant presentation of essential information.
  2. Provide adequate contrast between essential information and its surroundings.
  3. Maximize “legibility” of essential information.
  4. Differentiate elements in ways that can be described (i.e., make it easy to give instructions or directions).
  5. Provide compatibility with a variety of techniques or devices used by people with sensory limitations.
