My wife travels for her work on a regular basis. She asked me yesterday if there was an easier way to track her mileage outside of a spreadsheet since it takes a lot of time. That prompted me using claude to build her a web based mileage tracker. Not only did I feel accomplished but since my wife is sighted, I felt like I helped her in a way that she didn't know how technically. Working in digital accessibility, I was able to fix a few dialog and button control issues that were affecting the overall usage of the app today. What an amazing feeling and a worthy contribution with the help of AI. #AICoding #DigitalAccessibility #WebAccessibility #BlindHusbandDidATechieThing #HusbandHelp

Did you know that skip to links / buttons can save time for users with disabilities? Imagine you only have the use of your left hand or are 6 months into using a screen reader. You come across a site with no skip controls at all. THUS forcing you to tab through 30 items to get into the main content. You see where you need to go but are forced to tab through every interactive element or, you just want to get into the nain content and can't. This is a major reality for people with disabilities every day. Skip to controls or links are essential for people with disabilities useful to all users as well. #WCAG #UX #DigitalAccessibility #AccessibilityChampion ABetterWebForAll

I'm proud to announce the launch of Blind Productions.
Blind Productions is a showcase and community I built to celebrate blind creative professionals — musicians, DJs, actors, authors, podcasters, and content creators — and to give us one place to discover each other's work, collaborate, and connect.
Here's the honest part: this is the ground floor. The doors are open, the foundation is built, and now it's time to fill it up. I'm inviting you to help shape what this becomes — a living archive that future generations can search to discover the musicians and creators who came before them, and a moderated space where we create, support one another, and network as a community.
What's here today:
• A searchable directory of blind creatives, each profile with a bio, links to their work, audio to listen to, and video to watch.
• A moderated community forum for collaboration, support, opportunities, and networking.
• Accessibility built in from the ground up — screen-reader friendly, fully keyboard operable, with adjustable text, themes, and high contrast on every page.
So here's my ask: start submitting profile suggestions. Nominate yourself. Nominate the artists you admire. Bring the people who deserve to be found. Create a free account, join the conversation, and let's build something that lasts.
This is how a legacy gets started — together.
Explore and submit: https://blind.productions
You must be 18 or older to join.

From video calls and alerts to customer support and workplace communication, deaf people can encounter barriers throughout digital experiences.
Our latest guide looks at practical ways to design more inclusive products and services for deaf people.

🔧 Automated accessibility tools are often the first step in evaluating digital accessibility, but they only detect a limited portion of accessibility issues.

Digital accessibility is a right, not a luxury.
Websites, apps, online forms, PDFs, & government services must be usable with assistive tech & accessible design.
The ADA has always required equal access to public services!
Accessibility is not extra. It is not optional. It is not something to add later!
Digital accessibility is a right, not a luxury!
