Project IDEAL is a teacher preparation program intended to better prepare teachers to work with students with disabilities. It goes without saying that the site itself needed to be accessible to all its users.
Project IDEAL was not only an accessibility challenge, we were tasked with making the large amount of content as exciting and usable as possible. The information architecture became the most important feature of the site and helped guide the project as a whole.
Our team has become such an integral part of the project that we often join the IDEAL staff in presentations and conferences.
Project IDEAL was made possible by the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities (TCDD) and is a project of Texas Tech University.
