Whatever DOGE might hope, accessibility can’t be ignored. All of us will experience some form of disability in our lives, and following best practices for accessible design makes the experience of interacting with government better for everyone.
Accessibility as a core value
For 18F, accessibility wasn’t just a requirement for shipping but a core value in how we approached each project as well as working as a team.
