Esto es un claro ejemplo del porque tenemos que seguir luchando por los derechos de toda la comunidad LGTBTIQ+ todavía en 2022. @PPalhtorre …vaya vergüenza #LoveIsLove

Desde que me convertí en el portavoz del PSOE tristemente sabía que algún insultó homófobo llegaría, así que sinceramente esto ni me roza la piel. Pero exijo al @PPMalaga que borre este mensaje de su perfil y desautorice a este militante de su partido.

"We cannot creative accessible online environments for all, if we overlook #CognitiveAccessibility" Leena Haque (@L1LHu7k) in the session on #Cognition at the European #Accessibility Summit Side Event. #Inclusion #A11y #DigitalTransformation

[Jon Matthew Switters @jmswitters]

Looking forward to hearing my colleague @FunkaSara bringing #CognitiveAccessibility to the forefront of the discussion at the European #Accessibility Summit Side Event with @IAAP_EU, @MyEDF and supported by @FunkaNu. #Inclusion #a11y

[Jon Matthew Switters @jmswitters]

Time to mature, greater awareness, additional training for accessibility teams, a more standardisad format...just some of the conclusions on how to get the most out of the #accessibility feedback mechanism for public sector websites and apps. @MyEDF @FunkaNu @IAAP_EU

[Jon Matthew Switters @jmswitters]

How can public sector bodies be encouraged to promote the use of the #accessibility feedback mechanism on their websites and apps? The key is to see feedback as a gift and an opportunity to improve. Also, always provide responses to end users. @MyEDF @IAAP_EU @FunkaNu @simonsbart

[Jon Matthew Switters @jmswitters]
