Accessibility tools like screen readers interpret web pages through a specific DOM tree called the accessibility tree. You can access and read this tree in most browsers through the development tools. Be curious, go check that out! #accessibility #a11y

Ensure your internal tools are accessible too. Accessibility isn’t just outward-facing—employees with disabilities need equal access to HR portals, CRMs & platforms. True inclusion = everyone can work & succeed.

3 things every leader should demand:
1. Testers with disabilities
2. Focus beyond compliance
3. Clear guidance + point of contact
Accessibility isn’t a report, it’s a roadmap.
