For GAAD this year, we made a podcast! There's some amazing insights here from industry leaders about their experience with creating accessible content and changing cultures.

Well Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is just around the corner and it's been my pleasure to interview some industry leaders in finance, sports and disability activism.

We've recorded a panel discussion that provides some…https://t.co/pv5eJdf1Xk https://t.co/AZ23hfJiFo

So this just happened! I can't tell you how excited I am that Dig Inclusion is now part of the Nile Group!

In these times of economic uncertainty, it's really important to maintain our social values. Accessibility is a tempting item to put on the list of "nice-to-haves" when staring at budgets.

But the moral consideration is that basic access is essential to…https://t.co/DF7cJdIZz9

Many organisations aren't checking if their content is accessible.
If you believe that your content is, but you've never actually checked then experience says you might be in for a surprise...

But that's ok! a lot of people are in the same boat and need…https://t.co/EwDZOY0EQY

@wwwicked would you be interested in helping us test Hugr? @DigA11y

[grant broome @grantbroome]

@wwwicked @DigA11y Great catch! Thanks Daren, we'll get that fixed before launch.

[grant broome @grantbroome]

@ahiggi @DigA11y We hardly ever see an accessible date selector either. They all got whacked with the ugly stick when it comes to inclusion.

We're creating a new open-source accessibility testing tool called Digr. Help us build something that people can use for free: https://t.co/AyGqQ4qAoh

@accessibleweb I think that both statements are true and not contradictory or exclusive. Everyone benefits from digital accessibility in all sorts of different ways. The benefits of focussing on disabled people are enjoyed by people without disabilities.

[grant broome @grantbroome]

There's a new accessibility tool in town. It's an #a11y framework that allows you to collaborate on accessibility reporting and suggests relevant solutions for every issue that you find. It's easy to use, fast and free. Come and see a demo :)

@brucel @DigA11y I never realised you were so multi-talented Bruce

[grant broome @grantbroome]

@redcrew @racheleditullio @jr_roman @click2carney @redcrew just caught this. We're going to start the demo here: https://t.co/6sgOkOhAfR, we will wait for you to join. Apologies for missing your message. I hope you can still make it.

[grant broome @grantbroome]

@redcrew @racheleditullio @jr_roman @click2carney Well that's good news. If I arranged an open invitation for next Wednesday 27th at 2pm BST, would that work?

[grant broome @grantbroome]

@redcrew @RooRonks @racheleditullio @jr_roman @click2carney @DigA11y That's great, I hope you find it useful, and if you don't, let us know why and we can make improvements. We will be starting sessions back up soon once we have added some new features, but if you would like a personal demo, just ask and we can arrange it :)
