Happy 10th annual #GAAD! Using plain language is a great way to make your content more inclusive and accessible. It's not dumbing down, but opening up!

Excited to speak at @uxpaboston on April 28 with @SconnieBridgian about the intersection of #accessibility and #UX - sharing examples and research about inclusive design that goes beyond compliance. Hope to see you there!

Accessibility can be difficult to implement.
Organisations often feel overwhelmed by technical details and legal implications.

Accessibility is a goal, not a target. And the outcome is usability for people with disabilities, not just compliance. #a11yTOConf @gradualclearing @katekalcevich

Accessibility guidelines are usually not accessible, so it's important to take time to explain them in a way that gets your team excited to implement them
