A “Did You Know?” graphic stating that approximately 26% of adults in the United States, or about 61 million people, have a disability, highlighting the importance of accessibility in digital design.

♿ Accessibility isn’t niche.
It’s a reality for 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️

When digital spaces aren’t accessible, millions are excluded by default.
Accessible design isn’t extra. It’s essential. 🌍

Myth vs fact graphic explaining that accessibility is not only for disabilities but helps everyone in real-life situations.

Think accessibility is only about permanent disabilities?

What about:
📱 Using your phone with one hand
📢 Watching videos in a noisy café
🤕 Recovering from an injury

That’s accessibility too.

ID: "Santa’s Inclusive “Naughty or Nice” List, 2025 Edition Because inclusion always belongs on the Nice List. NICE LIST: Organisations who are… ✓ Hiring people with disabilities ✓ Offering remote and flexible roles ✓ Providing accommodations without pushback ✓ Designing accessible digital products ✓ Investing in disability ERGs and mentorship ✓ Training teams in inclusive practice NAUGHTY LIST: Organisations who are… ❌ Treating accessibility as “later” or “optional” ❌ Refusing basic accommodations ❌ Building experiences that exclude people ❌ Gatekeeping opportunities or underpaying disabled creators ❌ Ignoring remote workers or reducing support post-pandemic More resources in bio linktree.

Here’s to a holiday season where inclusion, accessibility and equity are the real gifts we give each other. May next year bring more organisations proudly moving from the Naughty to the Nice list.

Good morning from the #FísGamesSummit Very excited to hear more about #AccessibleByDesign Games in the first roundtable discussion.

A smoother sidewalk. A bench to rest. A crossing with enough time.
Sometimes it’s the smallest things that make the biggest difference.
Your voice can help shape a safer Guelph for all generations.

WCAG [A to Z a11y] One common acronym that has run throughout many of the blog posts here is WCAG. It stands for "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines" and comes from the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). It's a set of guidelines designed for websites and content, but has been adopted as the standard for digital accessibility. In this post I'll be looking at what WCAG is and some of the ways it influences how we build.

You've probably heard me banging on about WCAG. But what is it, and how does it affect what we build?

In this A to Z Accessibility: Power Platform Edition post I cover exactly that!

Pop goes the weasel We've all seen popups on our screen at some point or other. We may have even been the ones that coded them to appear.  The challenge is that they often appear in a way that doesn't trigger accessibility tools. So, are there better ways of bringing key content to the attention of our users? Let's take a look at what the possibilities are. 

Happy New Year! Here's "Pop goes the weasel" to kick things off. Yup, the next part of the A2Z Accessibility: Power Platform Edition is here at last!
