Designing for people who are D/deaf - TetraLogical
We don't often think about design in relation to the needs and expectations of D/deaf people. However, many of the choices we make when designing products and services - from the positioning and labelling of items to the selection of form elements and the use of plain language - can have a significant impact on the experience of D/deaf people.
