Split accessibility issues from usability issues in reporting

When reporting research findings, it can be helpful to split up accessibility issues from more general usability issues.

How can you do this?

• Consider which issues affect everyone and which ones only affect people with disabilities. This categorization method won't always be clear, as some accessibility issues are also usability issues. To identify accessibility problems, look for those disproportionately affecting people with disabilities.
• Map the issues back to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The downside of this method is that the WCAG might not cover some issues clearly related to accessibility. Still, doing so can help you rate issues by severity and prioritize which ones to fix first.
