How can teams without in-house expertise conduct meaningful assistive tech testing?

The best starting point is to partner with third-party experts who specialize in assistive technology testing. These teams have the experience and skills to identify accessibility barriers effectively.

If that's not an option, consider reaching out to disability advocacy or consumer groups in your area. You can also use social media to connect with users who rely on assistive tech and may be open to participating in testing.

Just be sure to fairly compensate anyone you work with. This is specialized expertise, and these users bring valuable insights that can't be replicated through automated tools or standard testing alone.
