The impact of vision and auditory impairments, whether at birth or through the natural progression of aging, affects a person¹s ability to interact with digital systems. Businesses and human rights advocates are becoming aware of these issues and require systems and design that address the need for accessibility. What is web accessibility? Why does it matter? How can we prioritize accessibility in our work? The presentation will provide an overview of the current state of web accessibility and why we need to improve compliance beyond current accessibility guidelines. We will showcase best practices and methods to improve compliance and most importantly, usability.
