Abstract
This paper describes a pilot project education in Design for All and usability evaluations for people with different disabilities. The concept “(in)spectors” began as a vision to create a platform where people due to their disability, can be a resource for companies, organizations and governmental agencies in the development of an accessible society with easy to use and attractive products, services and environments. By educating (in)spectors in how to design, organize and participate in usability testing and accessibility analyses they could be an exclusive resource in development and planning, thanks to the combination of knowledge and their disabilities. The vision of the (in)spectors would thereby lead both to that people with disabilities are utilized as an important resource and that they through this creates conditions for inclusion of more people with disabilities into society and employment.
