Testing with disabled users does not have to be an ‘incredible feat’ at all, as you don’t need to test with a ‘wide array’ of users. It’s actually much simpler than you think.

Disabilities are issues that occur when a barrier is put in place that causes difficulty for someone due to their medical condition. It’s these disabilities that you need to consider, not the medical conditions themselves, and there are only actually four broad types of disability that relate to web usage.

For example if you sourced even just a single participant with dyspraxia, that would give you some valuable feedback on both motor and cognitive disability. With other types of medical condition too it’s actually rare to have a single one, so you’ll often get feedback on a couple of the four areas from each participant.
