[The GAAD Foundation @gaadfdn]

@ianhamilton_ i’m unsure what you mean, is it that accessible games typically only meet Level A conformance? and if so, is it because of the nature of the interface or experience? Asking, because we would be willing to understand this further, so as not to exclude qualifying tech. ^@Jennison

[The GAAD Foundation @gaadfdn]

Nominate a technology or product that included digital #accessibility as a core requirement by June 14 for the second annual Gaadys Awards https://t.co/4dcqa8cvAu #ux #design #webdev #tech #a11y
