One in 4 U.S. adults – 61 million Americans - are living with some type of disability.
That is a staggering statistic. With 25% of Americans living with some sort of disability, it's no wonder accessibility and inclusion have reached all-time high levels of importance in today's society.
Accessibility is the practice of making your website usable by as many people as possible. Having an accessible website means people with long-term disabilities like visual and hearing impairments, people with changing abilities due to aging or even those with "temporary disabilities" such as a broken arm, can all use and navigate your website with the same levels of access and ease.
Even if you are not personally responsible for maintaining and optimizing your website, you will want to make sure your site meets the basic accessibility requirements. To do that, you need to understand accessibility as an issue and know what questions to ask.
Madgex has partnered with special guest Knowbility, a non-profit organization leading the way in providing education on accessible information technology, to bring you this exciting and informative session where you will learn the top 3 things you'll need to know about accessibility.
