This Global Accessibility Awareness Day, let’s all work to make #accessibility a core part of our products. Get started with our free resources 👉 https://buff.ly/44oUsoz 🌎 More than 1 billion people worldwide have a disability—is your content accessible to them? If not, then you’re missing a big opportunity. The goal of this day is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital access and inclusion, so spread the word! Let’s disrupt the culture of technology and digital product development and make accessibility a core requirement. #GAAD #a11y

It was awesome starting the Global Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD celebrations early last week , when I gave a keynote at the Knowbility #AccessU Conference, which was so much fun! And, I got to finally meet Meryl Evans, CPACC (deaf) and Sharron Rush which were highlights for me! I learned a lot last week, but I had some even better experiences! That aligns with my fundamental belief about accessibility – it’s about human experiences. This means that accessibility isn’t about compliance or a line of code, but rather about how people engage with content, and the experience that they need and want. So, no matter where you are on your accessibility journey, if you remember that it’s about human experiences, you’ll be on the right track (And that includes meeting great people along the way!) #Accessibility #DisabilityInclusion #Keynote #HumanExperiences
