Accessible content helps people who:

- have dyslexia (10% of UK)
- have a cognitive impairment
- have low literacy (43% of USA)
- are experiencing panic, anxiety, fear, stress, fatigue
- are in a hurry

So @charlotteemvio and I are bringing digital accessibility to @bathdigital festival #a11y

I'm running an in-person practical workshop on making your social media more accessible and @charlotteemvio is giving an online talk on the importance of inclusive and accessible design.

This was a question raised by several grantees in @neontribe's recent #TechForGood Build workshop.

I’m blind, and with that in mind, it’s rather weird to consider the fact that in all my job hunting, which, previous to me finding my role, was long, tedious and soul crushing, I never actually went on any disability specific job boards.
