Accessibility delivery systems • CPWA • If accessibility depends on heroics, it’s already a risk.

Good accessibility = good machine readability.

What’s untestable will remain untested.

[Miguel Estrada @developpeur]

Shared tools alone don’t solve Accessibility. Shared process does.

A centralized accessibility hub reduces guesswork and late rework.

Accessibility scales through systems, not saviours.

@maayanziv Very sorry to see this happening.
This needs to be fixed at ramp level through best practices. Baggage handlers may not have deep accessibility awareness. Perhaps starting an initiative with MPs towards "Wheelchair Storage Practices for Airlines" may provide a long-term solution.

@1Copenut Thank you, Trevor. I ended up confirming that the hard way, while preparing for the IAAP WAS certification. The required level of familiarity with code for the exam… imho, only devs have it, or QAs (mostly former devs).

Accessibility Engineers ensure web technology is released accessible by removing barriers that prevent equal access for users of assistive technologies.

The hard part of Web Accessibility is getting familiar with how users with disabilities experience interactions and implementing accordingly.
