  • The background was chosen to be neutral colors and a simple pattern as to not be over-stimulating (removes barriers for someone who has ASD or ADHD)
  • High contrast in color between post-it and text color while not having post it color convey anything important (removes barriers for someone who is visually impaired)
  • Sans serif font was chosen so text would be easier to read (removes barriers for someone who is visually impaired)
  • Padlet can be zoomed in using the standard browser zoom buttons (removes barriers for someone who is visually impaired)
  • Each post-it can be expanded (removes barriers for someone who is visually impaired or someone with ADHD)
  • Post it can be clicked on from anywhere - no narrow "open" button (removes barriers for someone who has limited fine motor capabilities)
  • No large boxes of text (removes barriers for people who are Deaf, hard of hearing, dyslexic, or with ASD)
  • Padlet works with screen readers (removes barriers for someone who is visually impaired)
