Accessibility Persona Lens ავტორი Orange Halo

Understand accessibility barriers by experiencing them firsthand.

Accessibility Persona Lens helps designers, developers, and product teams build empathy for users with different access needs. Based on the official GOV.UK Accessibility Personas developed by the Government Digital Service, this extension simulates real interaction barriers — not to replicate lived experiences, but to reveal friction points in your designs.

7 Personas, 7 Perspectives

Each persona represents a real pattern of web usage:

Claudia — Screen magnifier user with partial sight. Simulates 400% zoom, inverted colours, and highlighted focus.

Ashleigh — Screen reader user who is severely sight impaired. Applies heavy blur to encourage screen reader testing.

Ron — Older user with arthritis, hearing loss, and cataracts. Simulates mild visual impairment and motor difficulties.

Chris — Keyboard-only user with colour vision deficiency. Disables mouse interaction and applies greyscale.

Pawel — Autistic user sensitive to distractions. Adds visual and audio distractions to simulate concentration difficulties.

Simone — Dyslexic user. Applies dyslexia-friendly styling with letter scrambling to simulate reading challenges.

Saleem — Deaf user whose first language is BSL. Converts text to demonstrate reading in a second language.

Important: These simulations demonstrate interaction barriers, not lived experiences. They are tools for understanding, not representations of disability.
