During last month's Global Accessibility Awareness Day (aka #GAAD), Allyant offered an unusual webinar. Where plenty of companies tout their products in thinly-veiled sales pitches, Allyant ran a discussion panel made up of five of their employees. This quintet of #accessibility experts discussed their everyday lived experiences as people with disabilities: what products work for them, what products don't, and why. (1/4)

Back home from a wonderful few days in the great London town. The big reason for the trip was the BBC’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day. So happy for the BBC to have invited me and my wife Maarja to the Broadcasting House, where we took part in the BBC GAAD conference, sat down in a panel, and chatted with senior BBC AI and news managers to talk about AI, journalism, accessibility, and why this all matters. Huge thanks to Johnny Cassidy for the invitation and for showing us around the broadcasting house, where, we got to visit the pit, the BBC’s enormous newsroom, where news is made across online, radio, TV, World Service, local services, and probably several other things I have forgotten. Incredible place. We believed about 2k desks to be in this massive open plan space, which at our time of visit was quite ordinary and quiet. WOuld love to see the racket going on during major global events though. Our thursday ended in the SkyScanner offices for the official #Gaad celebration. Lots of incredibly talented people to hang out with. And I got to finally meet a long time online friend, Ignasi for real this time.
London itself was lovely too. We wandered around, saw Moulin Rouge at the Piccadilly Theatre, walked through Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square, did a Thames river cruise from the London Eye, and had a guide called James who was properly funny and very good at making the city make sense. And before flying home, we got to visit @FreakyFwoof and his family again after many years,, even if only briefly. Which was a small but really lovely ending to a trip.Also: we randomly gave a bottle of Vana Tallinn, a well known estonian liquor to two guys outside a pub because in london you just chat with random people, and if they are friendly, give them small givts. Travelling is fun. Extremely fun.

Say what you will about corporate showmanship and false promises, but the CEO of Apple casually tweeting with the #GAAD hashtag is something that everyone should be able to recognize as a win. Tell me this would have happened even five years ago when the concept of Global Accessibility Awareness Day was coined in a blog post, and I would have said "haha funny".
There have been some setbacks, sure. There are always going to be. but I don't know how you look at that and not consider it a win.

Big thank you to Netflix Games for inviting me to speak for #GAAD yesterday! It was such a pleasure spending the day with the team.
Speaking of #Netflix, the official trailer for Season 2 of the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender dropped yesterday, and I had the honor of providing the audio description for it. I’m really proud of how it turned out, and it has me even more excited for the new season.

Had a great time today at the #GAAD Hackathon at the @GitHub office in SF! The #GOAT crew are investigating the electronics and software that run power wheelchairs! We looked into this with the open r-net libraries for Permobil with a little side quest into Whill's Bluetooth comms. I learned a lot and tomorrow we'll dive deeper! https://openassistivetech.org

I am spending this #GAAD at the Github Assistive Technology Hackathon and am enjoying the community of the event with so many other knowledgeable people interested in #a11y .
I have been working independently on two projects with accessibility features recently; improving keyboard accessibility in #Wireshark and an RTS game, Tribal Trouble (https://github.com/bondolo/tribaltrouble/) to which I recently added visually distinct selection rings (style in addition to color) and improved High Contrast features.

🌐💙 Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day from PCB!
Today reminds us that accessibility must be part of everything we create.
Accessibility means alt text, screen reader friendly design, labeled buttons, keyboard navigation, accessible PDFs, audio description, clear headings, and good contrast.
Accessibility is not extra. It is a right, not a luxury.

It's #GAAD. We audited all our user interfaces against WCAG 2.2 level AA. Newer interfaces performed well. Older ones have significant gaps we're working to close. Making Crossmark more accessible is next, and we're also redesigning our website to make our content more accessible, too.
If you use assistive technologies, work in UX or advocate for accessibility, we want to hear from you.

Happy #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay!
Daylish was always built with accessibility in mind, but I challenged myself to find and fix as many rough edges as I could across Apple's accessibility tools, from VoiceOver to Dynamic Type.
Plus a polish pass on editing item details and the quick add flow.
Let me know how 1.7 feels and works for you 😊

For Global Accessibility Awareness Day, a video I made for work going over some of Canva's recently introduced accessibility features. If you use Canva to make documents (especially if you then export to PDF and send them out), take a few minutes to learn about some simple steps you can take to make sure they're more accessible!

Hey developers! Just a reminder that we have an extensive guide on #accessibility in our docs. Since it's Global Accessibility Awareness Day, maybe you'll find some good ideas in there on how to make your projects more accessible. Have a look: https://docs.wagtail.org/en/stable/advanced_topics/accessibility_considerations.html
