Making the accessibility switch: how NBCUniversal builds cultural maturity in accessibility

© Copyright Fable Tech Labs Inc 2024. All rights reserved.

How do you encourage product teams across your organization to learn and practice accessibility consistently? For NBCUniversal, it’s about creating the environment to build personal connection to accessibility barriers. Compliance standards offer parameters to guide a technical understanding of blockers for people with disabilities who use assistive technology, but do not prioritize meaningful usability in practice. By centering the direct feedback of people with disabilities in the product cycle, NBCUniversal teams foster empathy and personal accountability in its design culture.  

Join us on Tuesday, February 13th at 2:00pm EST / 11:00am PST for Making the accessibility switch: how NBCUniversal builds cultural maturity in accessibility.

Making the switch to an accessibility-focused culture and product cycle is one of change management. In this Experts with Fable session, learn from Senior Director of Accessibility Lori Samuels on how to inspire, influence and empower accessibility champions across an organization.

Fable’s Accessibility Evangelist Samuel Proulx will explore with Lori:  

• How organizations can level up their accessibility maturity and make progress, whether you're just getting started or have initiatives in place
• NBCUniversal's approach to nurturing empathy and accountability across different roles
• The benefit of a blended practice that satisfies accessibility standards and prioritizes usability
