  1. Happy to have my work in the Accessibility Chapter of the HTTP Archive's Web Almanac featured in StateScoop.

    I belive that this is the first government-wide scan of USA states for web accessibility. The report averages over 34,000 state government web pages to create a meaningful snapshot of how inclusive government sites are.

  2. Look, everyone... The trouble with #accessibility testing tools like #ANDI is that a person can end up performing accessibility testing without experiencing content as an actual #disabled user. It insulates them from using keyboard-only navigation, screen readers, screen magnification, etc. This just seems fundamentally wrong to me. #TrustedTester #DHS #Section508

  3. Thanks in part to great suggestions I've had over the last couple days about making my Mastodon experience even better, I'm following a bunch of folks from #lawfedi #philosophy and #CommStudies. Just sayin in case I look like some kinda crazy follow-bot. I use hashtags to post on and track topics I'm interested in. Follow back if any of these are your gigs:

  4. #TeamRhetoric #WritingStudies #TechComm #LegalWriting friends: I'm on a project with a long #PDF report where I must ensure its compliance with #Section508 and other federal regulations relating to #DocumentAccessibility . I'm hoping to go beyond mere legal compliance, though, and seek state-of-the-art accessibility resources. I can search the web (and have), but I'm interested in resources you have actually used or supervised others using that you have found especially useful. Boost plz!

  5. So far I've only seen #SurveyMonkey make note of its ability to create #accessible surveys online, though it's not their default behavior. By default, even SurveyMonkey makes their surveys inaccessible. Which is surprising as they boast compliance with #Section508 and #WCAG.

    Maybe a niche for those of us who care about #accessibility? Quite a profitable one, I'd say, judging by monthly fees to pay for some survey services out there.
