Cerebral palsy should be reframed as “the most common lifelong physical disability,” instead of a childhood disorder, a professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation argues in a recent perspective article for the New England Journal of Medicine.
Why one expert says it’s time to redefine cerebral palsy
Focusing on early detection and prevention has skewed awareness of the permanent nature of the disability, a health expert writes.

Many struggle with writing alt text for charts and other other data visualizations. Amy Cesal's "Writing Alt Text for Data Visualization" hammers home the importance of explaining the chart type, the type of data, and the reason for the chart.

How do you write text that conveys the whole meaning of a visualization? You probably can’t. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try

Hyperlink text should make sense when read out of context. Screen reader users can navigate from link to link, and can listen to links in a list. When navigating this way, only the link is read. So "click here" or "read more" won't make sense.
