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

Wondering how we audit websites & apps for #Accessibility? We start with a discovery call, scope & estimate, then audit with standards + real assistive tech. We finish with a recap call + remediation advice. Book a consult: calendly.com/tayarndt/gen... #A11y #InclusiveDesign

I’m looking to connect with more people in the #Accessibility, #A11y, #WebAccessibility, #UXDesign, #WebDev, #AppDev, and #Tech communities.
I’m always interested in sharing knowledge, testing ideas, and learning from others working to make technology better for everyone. Let’s connect.

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.

Thinking about an accessibility audit?
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.

Small businesses are building apps—not for hype, but to solve real problems.
Apps can help customers order, send updates, manage bookings, and make services easier to access.
You don’t need to be techy—just start with a good idea.

Pressed Enter twice to open a menu and its submenu. For screen reader users, that’s frustrating.
Accessibility isn’t about extra steps—it’s about usable design.
Design should reduce friction, not create it.

Design your app like the screen isn’t visible. For blind users like me, the screen reader is the interface. If your app doesn’t work without visuals, it doesn’t work for everyone. It’s not about perfection—it’s about intention. #Accessibility #BlindInTech

iOS devs: Do you really need that custom control? Native components are accessible by default. When do you go custom—and how do you handle accessibility?
