A couple years ago we were able to hire someone with a visual impairment to do some testing on our website. I consider myself to be very knowledgeable about accessibility, I use a screen reader to test, etc.
But watching someone use something I made, and struggle to complete the task because of a fairly straightforward disability they overcome every day in many ways, but they couldn’t get that thing I made to work? That’s an incredibly humbling experience. Never felt anything like that before. I’d highly recommend doing some testing with a real user if you ever have the opportunity.
