Loving the progress on #CognitiveAccessibility. It really is the least explored accessibility frontier in my view. Wondering if WWDC in June will bring an API for third parties to opt in to providing a simplified experience too.

Also… is it possible those macOS text size options mean a system Dynamic Type API is coming to macOS? 🙏🏼

Good morning #medlibs and all academic #librarians.

I understand that the Library Accessibility Alliance Action Committees is going to discuss at their next meeting
- #accessibility for health (ie COVID safety and inclusion of library users with disabilities)
- #CognitiveAccessibility

These points expand on "traditional" aspects of e-resources accessibility, like access for people with limited vision or color blindness (which remain important, don't get me wrong!)
