Title: Everyday Accessibility

Speaker(s): Martine Dowden

Abstract:

You’ve heard it: accessibility is important. We must make our websites and applications conform to accessibility standards. But what about the rest of our communications and interactions? As tech professionals we send emails, write documentation, write code, vent our frustrations on Twitter, and much more. We create content daily, whether we realize it or not, and there are many small things we can do to make our communication more accessible. In this talk we will delve into the ways in which, especially when working remotely, we communicate and interact, and the little things we can do to make those communications more accessible for all.
