#Accessibility folks. I've been asked by a fairly senior UXer about good accessibility courses aimed at designers. He knows the basics, and wants to go further. Does anybody know of any courses that may be suited? Thanks!

#Accessibility folks. I'm running into an issue with a SPA where the keyboard focus on a new 'view' is different on Safari to what it is in Edge, Chrome and Firefox. Have you run into this before?

Design system folks,
The docs should reinforce design and UX decisions. Don't say, "We don't disable UI elements." but then offer methods for disabling elements in the docs and as a prop on components.
The docs should clearly explain acceptable scenarios.
