Myth 1:
I won’t meet my deadlines • Yes, it is true that accessibility evaluation can be time
consuming.
• Unlike usability, accessibility does require human intensive, rather than automated, testing.
• Recruiting and managing accessibility testers into sprint and agile environments is exceedingly difficult without external resources.

Myth 2:
My design team will struggle
with the added complexity
Added complexity can arise from: • Regulations loaded with legal jargon. • Standards that are long and difficult to grasp.
• Multiple platforms, devices, and
clouddependencies.
