Accessibility Barriers Are Built Into Design

The study found that the original iMHere 2.0 app created unnecessary obstacles for users with fine-motor impairments, such as small buttons, cramped layouts, and low-contrast color schemes. These barriers weren’t about the disability itself, but about design choices that privileged able-bodied norms. This shows how “disability” often emerges from environmental barriers rather than inherent deficits, and how technology can either disable or empower depending on how it is designed.
