Adapt access as well as content
Build accessibility into the underlying design, then consider how the experience could adapt to individual needs. Personalisation can extend beyond tailored answers to the controls, navigation and explanations that make an interaction usable.
For someone struggling with fine motor control, an adaptive interface could enlarge button hit areas or simplify complex navigation and multi-step forms. Cognitive support tools could summarise content, simplify vocabulary or explain unfamiliar concepts for people with learning disabilities, limited literacy or those reading in a second language. Treat such adaptations as possibilities enabled by accessible foundations, rather than substitutes for those foundations.
The Financial Conduct Authority reported in 2025 that large language models show potential to simplify complex financial concepts for lower reading ages, while validating those explanations requires expert human judgement alongside automated evaluation. Plan for understandable explanations and human review, not simply more personalised wording.
