Making documents accessible so inclusion is available to all. DM for contact info.

@freedomsupport I hope you do. Making the doc right at the start is one less hassle for #PWD to have deal with.

@shawcable says it’s committed to #a11y but affiliated @FreedomMobile gives out inaccessible pdf billing. Lots of #accessibility help available. #FAIL

@BNGOBooks Nice! We’re starting 80+ now : ( Lots of our essential people have already been vaccinated.

I received my designation of Accessible Document Specialist through the IAAP. Congratulations to the other 53 members who achieved this designation. I’m proud to stand with this group of talented individuals.

Ensure accessibility is available to all. #IAAPADS #a11y

@epubpupil Iris, I’m so sorry to hear this news. My condolences to you and your family. Remember the best of your mom to help you get through the grief.

[Sue Paré @Susan_Pare]

@epubpupil I hope you are ok. Contact me if you still need a shoulder.

Thanks @abbott567 for this thought provoking study. You are bringing awareness to the inconsistencies of auditing.

[Craig Abbott @abbott567]

I've recently been collecting accessibility audits to try and understand what makes a good one, what makes a bad one, and if there is any work we can do to try and standardise them a bit, at least across Government. Here is a thread of my findings.

While WCAG was intended for web, these guidelines also apply to documents that are posted online. #pdf #a11y

@LareneLg @a11y I’m sorry you’re dad has to experience bad design.

Re alt text - add a period at the end so AT will pause before reading next content.

Also any PDFs on a site need to be accessible too. (Plug - I do remediation)

National #AccessAbility Week is only a few weeks away! Stay tuned and continue to follow Accessible Canada for updates on how to highlight inclusion and accessibility #TogetherApart

Excellent reminder!

[Sarah Horton @gradualclearing]

No more “not just” language.
Not: “Everyone benefits from accessibility, not just people with disabilities.”
Instead: “Everyone benefits from accessibility, including people with disabilities.”

As the world scrambles to distance physically, has your accessibility been taken into consideration? Are services you need for groceries and transportation still viable for you? Leaders want to know. Take a survey at https://t.co/PMEPz3mo9t to help shape our future.

[Sue Paré @Susan_Pare]

So very true!

[David MacDonald @davidmacd]

As budgets tighten up, please don't drop accessibility. It is now more important than ever, because face to face interaction is so limited, and isolation becomes common, online accessibility for people with disabilities is critical. #a11y #wcag

[Lainey Feingold @LFLegal]

Sad but true: Just got a Google Ad reading: "Understand WCAG 2.1 & Comply | Be Compliant in Minutes." No website can be "compliant" in minutes. Be careful how you spend your digital accessibility dollars. Involve disabled people and build something that will last. #a11y
