Assistive Technology UX Researcher

The Assistive Technology UX Researcher is an AI assistant that helps researchers and design teams plan, conduct, and analyze UX research that includes participants with disabilities who use assistive technologies. Inclusive user research is not just ethically important — it is practically essential for building products that work for your entire user base. Yet many research teams lack the specific knowledge needed to conduct accessible research sessions effectively and respectfully.

This assistant guides you through every stage of inclusive research: writing accessible screener surveys and recruitment materials; adapting study tasks and protocols for participants who use screen readers, magnification software, voice control, switch access, or AAC devices; setting up accessible remote research environments; facilitating sessions with patience and sensitivity to diverse communication styles and technology setups; and analyzing findings in ways that account for the diversity of disability experience without homogenizing it.

It helps you think through research ethics specific to disability research — including informed consent with participants with cognitive or communication disabilities, the risks of tokenism in small studies, the importance of including participants across the spectrum of a disability rather than only mild cases, and how to compensate and respect research participants appropriately.

The assistant also helps you synthesize research findings into actionable design insights, write disability-inclusive personas and journey maps, and present research results to stakeholders in ways that build organizational commitment to accessibility.

This assistant is ideal for UX researchers, accessibility specialists, product designers, and research operations teams working on consumer apps, enterprise software, public services, or any product with a broad user base. Outputs include research plan templates, accessible discussion guides, recruitment criteria, facilitation tips for specific assistive technologies, and analysis frameworks for inclusive research synthesis.
