Five things you can do to improve digital #accessibility https://t.co/Gesp9N4mhX via @LinkedIn

Today, we recognize the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a landmark law that advances equal opportunity, participation, and access for people across the US.

There's still work to do; together, we can drive accessibility practices globally.

Guide dogs, white canes, hearing aids & wheelchairs are all external markers of disability. But there are more than 1 billion people living with disabilities that are non-apparent - including physical, mental, or neurological conditions that affect movement, senses & activities.

#AI is often pitched as a fast fix for #accessibility audits, but the reality is more complicated. In this article, Karl Groves of @a11yfixed explains why real accessibility auditing still depends on clear methodology and human judgment. https://t.co/e4IjFWKxJm #WCAG #a11y

It's #DisabilityPrideMonth, a time to celebrate the strength, diversity, and contributions of #disabled people, while recognising the work needed to create a more inclusive world.

Start conversations. Challenge stigmas. Advocate for equal access and opportunities for all 💛

The most concerning takeaway from the latest WebAIM Million data isn’t how many #accessibility barriers exist; it’s that they’re still treated as acceptable. In Tolerating Inaccessibility, we look at what needs to change: https://t.co/fe9r7TKZns #a11y #WebAccessibility

@ryantracey I read they use lines like: So, do you swim here often? 😆

Thank you @guywwallace for hosting me on your podcast.

I enjoyed our conversation about the measurement of learning, the end-to-end development effort, and the impact of AI on L&D.

Think WCAG is only for people who are blind or have low vision? Accessibility supports a wide range of users and needs. Explore the broader impact of inclusive design.

Skip links—often overlooked—are vital for keyboard users. Placed first on a page and visible on focus, they let users bypass repeated nav and reach main content faster, reducing tab stops. Learn more: https://t.co/Idn2vHnOjq #a11y #accessibility

There are some meaningful differences between a #WhiteCane and a #GuideDog that people don’t talk about. 🦯 🦮

We got together with our friends from @BlindNewWorld to call out these hard truths.

Anything we missed? Let us know in the comments. ⬇️

Screen reader users often navigate by links alone. Link text like “Click Here” or “Read More” provides little context.

Use descriptive link text, ensure identical links go to the same destination, and avoid vague labels.

Everyone consumes information differently. To aid users, provide content in alternative formats such as:

Explainer videos
Audio
Infographics

Or Easy Read, which breaks content down into pictures, with simple wording.
