Accessibility is no longer just about websites—it’s about every digital touchpoint, from PDFs to videos, and every organization serving the public.

Under the updated ADA rules, accessibility now applies to all digital content on government-funded websites—including PDFs. Now is an important moment to take a fresh look at how accessible your full digital ecosystem really is.

♿ Alt text for images

Every image needs a meaningful description. Screen readers depend on it. "Photo" or leaving it blank isn't good enough.

Bonus: it also helps your SEO.

Quick Tip: Dialog Focus The specifications for dialogs and modals recommend placing focus on the first focusable item in the dialog. The vast majority of the time this is a close button. this means that a screen reader us…

Big circle and a small circle inside. The big circle is accessibility- the vast space of human capacities. Within that is the small circle of usability - the design for moments of human need

The small circle is now a dot. It’s is accessible design for the essential needs of people as defined by their particular capacities

A circle around that dot - how inclusive design can extend the benefit of accessible design for a broader audience

The black dot is now hanging off the edge of the circle. This is the problem for me. The inclusive design focuses to the broad audience and the essential needs are ignored or drift away from attention

Inclusive Design can be a problem.

This is just few slides on how I think of #accessibility, #usability and #InclusiveDesign

Speech viewers do not tell the full truth. What you see is not always what users hear.
