Accessibility Persona Lens

Accessibility Persona Lens lets you simulate common interaction barriers using accessibility personas based on GOV.UK research.

Select one or more personas and apply them to selected frames to explore how design decisions may affect people with different access needs:

Ashleigh — severely sight impaired (blind); would use a screen readerClaudia — partially sighted; would use screen magnification and high-contrast settingsChris — has rheumatoid arthritis and colour vision deficiency; would rely on keyboard navigation and may use voice controlSimone — dyslexic; would use reading support tools such as highlighted read-aloud textThese simulations demonstrate interaction barriers, not lived experiences.

They are intended to support inclusive design thinking and do not replace research with disabled users.

Persona source content is adapted from GOV.UK materials available under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
