A convo popped up on FB about Canva PDF #accessibility, so here’s the quick answer: my CPACC study cards were made in Canva, and a blind pro was able to read them with a braille reader. So yes, Canva PDFs can be accessible- but don’t assume, be sure to test with real users. #Canva #CPACC #Blind

Being neurodivergent and having to study for an important exam, one way that I've been able to remember the information is by writing the main concepts on notecards. ND folks- what're some ways y'all have used to study for big exams?

Yup, This is a big one 👆🏾

Top 3 things people get wrong about accessibility:
1. It's a negligible minority affected (Wrong because over 2 billion people have a disability worldwide)
2. It only benefits a minority (Wrong because you use elevators)
3. It'll be too expensive (but war is not? OK👌)

Alt text is short for alternative text. Some blind folks cannot see images; but they can 'read' text. This is where alt text comes in; but alt-text also helps SEO, and even your website pagerank!

Oldie but goodie! The term disability has more of a 'permanent' connotation, but many more people have been disabled situationally than they realize. It really can happen at any moment. #DisabilityAwareness #Educational #ADA #TheMoreYouKnow #Everybody

USDOT will not enforce Biden wheelchair passenger protection rule The U.S. Transportation Department said on Monday that it will not enforce key provisions of a Biden administration rule issued in December requiring new consumer protections for disabled passengers using wheelchairs.

Airlines successfully lobbied Trump, so now USDOT will not only ignore rule, it will write a new rule that will almost definitely be punitive toward disabled passengers.

It has become apparent that for some people, accessibility is perceived as "special treatment". It's not; it's access. ACCESSIBILITY = ACCESS + ABILITY = ABILITY TO ACCESS.

It surprised me that many pros prefer the CPACC audio to prep! 🎧 Audio helps with retention and works great for neurodivergent, blind, mobility-restricted, or just plain busy folks.

This image reminds me that the one of the most common issues I ALWAYS see- color contrast. It's such a common barrier designers disregard in lieu of 'aesthetics'. I think recently it has gotten a little better. #ColorBlind #Accessibility #VisionImpaired #Disabilities #UX
