What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of “disability”? In the context of product design, we might first think of vision loss, hearing loss, web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG), screen readers, and/or wheelchairs. These are all, of course, extremely important to consider in design, but to be truly inclusive, we must also design for users with barriers that may not be immediately obvious. Invisible disabilities are those that might not be immediately apparent; in some cases, they may not even be medically diagnosed. (Half of people with disabilities cannot afford healthcare.)
Those who identify as having an invisible disability face social stigma and therefore do not always disclose their disability to those around them.
