Small Details, Big Impact: Micro-interactions, Accessibility, and When to Call a Specialist

Time: April 10, 9:45 am – 10:45 am

Speakers: Meenal Dobariya

Microinteractions – the small details like button feedback, form error messages, hover states, or loading animations – shape how people experience a digital product. When designed well, they reduce frustration and increase clarity. But when overlooked, they can create serious accessibility barriers for students, staff, and faculty. This session will introduce common examples of accessible vs inaccessible microinteractions and show how small tweaks can make a big difference for everyone. We’ll also explore when and how to involve an accessibility specialist, so collaboration becomes easier and effective. Attendees will have practical tips and a simple checklist they can apply to their own projects.
