The aim of this research is to analyze the use of usability heuristics in projects for people with disabilities, investigating the existence of specific heuristics for this purpose. A bibliographic review showed the importance of the coordination between usability heuristics and accessibility guidelines - which few results succeeded to meet. Future studies could help expanding the research and enable the development of usability heuristics for accessible projects.
