The Product Design Ideas Browser is a reference tool that focuses on design strategies used to address the Telecom Act Accessibility Guidelines. Select an item from the list of Accessibility Guidelines in the navigation pane to find ideas and strategies that will be helpful in the design of more accessible and usable products.

Please Note: The strategies and techniques found under each guideline heading in this browser are ideas for addressing the Telecom Guidelines. It is not necessary to implement all the ideas. Nor are all possible ideas for addressing access listed here (although we list new ideas as they are developed or brought to our attention).

The Ideas Browser is a joint project of the Universal Telecommunications Access RERC (Gallaudet University and the Trace Center), and the Information Technology Access RERC (Trace Center), both of whom receive their core funding from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research of the Department of Education under grant numbers H133E50002, H133A60030, and H133E980008. The opinions contained in this tool are those of the grantee and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of Education.

The Product Design Ideas Browser has been developed utilizing the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.
