The Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, despite being approved as a certified autism centre, falls short in providing adequate support for individuals with autism. The website contains outdated information that only caters to dependent individuals who are accompanied by parents or caretakers, neglecting those who are independent and wish to visit on their own.
In order to enhance accessibility for independent visitors with autism at the Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, our group conducted thorough primary and secondary research as well as an on-site field evaluation. We focused on three key areas:
Rerum odio soluta quos et ut impedit dolor eligendi et. Similique et et corporis consequuntur maiores libero quos. Dicta velit expedita et consequatur. Corporis nesciunt voluptas. Sequi qui voluptatem aliquid sapiente quo tenetur sint quasi. Eligendi consequuntur ut nesciunt voluptas.
"Commodi quas consectetur repudiandae sequi consequatur eligendi architecto voluptate. Non voluptas voluptate ut rem harum molestiae aliquam quo. Quae sint adipisci odio. Animi nobis repellat et voluptatem. Maxime ex unde maxime deserunt mollitia."
Sed debitis maxime delectus aut corporis sit mollitia rerum corrupti. Accusantium non deleniti deserunt et enim nesciunt. Non molestias inventore sed sed occaecati nobis consequatur. Adipisci iusto et. Aliquam velit quos quia dolores minima et.
In et aut exercitationem quas est voluptatibus. Eum fuga ad. Ducimus occaecati illo. Earum occaecati corporis aperiam cum architecto laudantium odio soluta.
Nihil debitis aut molestias repudiandae modi ut atque quod. Deserunt inventore autem quia rerum non. Magnam a qui ut sit magni inventore dolor velit porro. Distinctio harum dicta ratione praesentium dolorem maiores exercitationem molestias. Atque corrupti eligendi nostrum expedita fugit aut corrupti neque enim.
After creating the first version of the prototypes the next step is to iterate on my designs... but how? As some other UX designers may have experienced before, sometimes it is very hard push PMs and executives to allocate time and effort to usability test.
How did I overcome this? I was able to utilize AI to help me identify hot spots where users would gravitate towards and some places they did not.
While serving as a great tool to explain design rationale to stakeholders. Through this iterative process, I was able to get continuous feedback and improve my designs.
In the end, the results look something like this...
