  1. Hope you had a wonderful #GAAD2023!

    GAAD may be over, but every day is a good day for learning and applying digital access/inclusion best practices.

    In honor of that mission, entries are still open for a chance to win a Deque University class & free year of Be Inclusive.

    There's just about a week left, remember that you can share your referral code to get extra entries too!

  2. Apple has just announced a number of new accessibility features coming to the iPhone, iPad and Mac:

    apple.com/uk/newsroom/2023/05/

    There are some impressive-seeming innovations for blind and low-vision users, and the ability to create a voice trained on your own speech patterns could be a lifesaver for people with degenerative conditions like ALS

    But the highlight for me is the new support for people with cognitive disabilities, who haven’t perhaps been served so well by Apple up to now – this is a welcome first step 🙌

    And I was very pleased to read that Apple will be highlighting the advocacy work of Autistic non-speaker and AAC user Jordyn Zimmerman 💜

  3. Accessibility & inclusion are some of our core values here, but today we spent the morning with others from the CMU & Pittsburgh communities who also believe in prioritizing digital access for all.

    Now in its 12th year, the purpose of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (#GAAD2023) is to raise awareness of digital access & inclusion for all.

    We hope you will join us in raising the bar by including #accessibility as a core requirement in your work.

  4. In honour of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, I've been making #CRT7 more accessible this week!

    First is an option to replace any flickering lights with a single off and on.

    Second is a reusable subtitling system I can use for video and radio transmissions 🧡

  5. Talking about the Global #Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD2023: I always wondered why are the textured tracks in the sidewalk for the blind generally painted yellow if blind people can't even see them. Then it dawned on me that the paint is for sighted but vision-impaired people
  6. Machen wir mal einen Status-Check: Was habt ihr heute am #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay über Barrierefreiheit und Inklusion gelernt oder wo habt ihr behinderte Personen gesehen, wo sie sonst unsichtbar sind? #GAAD2023

  9. Technology enables #a11y.

    GitHub is home to 85% of #OpenSource

    Ergo, GitHub is uniquely positioned to impact #disabled #DevEx on #GAAD and every day.

    Please read my convo with Ed Summers to be impressed with GitHub's unified, strategic and organized effort for #accessibility, to learn about key cross-platform and Copilot updates, and to watch and simply be inspired by life and work of Paul Chiou.

  10. Positive vibes today from the folks at dxw taking time out of their lunchtime to listen and ask questions to our @StephanieK presenting on accessibility #A11y #GAAD2023

  11. This is such an excellent thread covering so many variables for running #games, especially #TTRPGS, and mentions the effects actions can have on those with #autism, #ADHD, all kinds of #visual, #auditory, or #processing #disabilities, and how to tweak #gaming to include and make as enjoyable as possible for everyone.

  14. Natürlich wird das auch von behinderten Menschen getestet, die dadurch direkt mehr Lebensqualität gewinnen. Und das ist dann das Bild, das auch hängen bleibt - nicht, dass es die Barrieren, die zum Hilfsmittel geführt haben, eigentlich nicht geben sollte. #Inklusion #GAAD2023
