“Accessible Description Exposure” adrianroselli.com/2022/04/access… I document how `aria-describedby` is exposed across 6 screen reader / browser combinations using 7 different interaction methods. With videos.

Budgets speak louder than mission statements.
I’ve moved from the “obsessively researching each tiny detail” phase to the “messing around with section titles and headings” phase of a project I’m working on, so progress I guess?

We collaborated with @ESDC_GC to create a new data hub to provide a centralized location for information on accessibility and disability. Check it out: ow.ly/eiCj50F12G2 #NationalAccessAbilityWeek #AccessibleCanada #NAAW

During National #AccessAbility Week, we celebrate the many contributions that Canadians with disabilities make to our communities and workplaces. At 1:45 AT, @CQualtro is hosting a town hall for youth with disabilities to discuss inclusion 👇

Hot tip for anyone including images in their social media or educational content...you should describe those images! @veron4ica has a great myth busting post to get you started: veroniiiica.com/2021/02/11/sev…
Just a reminder that there is much to read and ponder from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (particularly the Calls to Action), all available online. For accessible versions of TRC documents, @NNELSca is a great resource nnels.ca/news/trc

Calling all Canadian Public Library Staff, please fill out this survey about accessibility and services for people with disabilities in public libraries. questionnaire.simplesurvey.com/f/l/accessible… #a11y #libraries #Canada

Here's our 2021 saying for National AccessAbility Week (NAAW) for all provinces and territories to adopt, "If its not Accessible, then it not Acceptable" NAAW starts on May 30 and ends June 5, do your part and support your community and Canada in becoming barrier free! #NIAAW
Amazing food for thought from Ashley Shaw for improving accessibility in libraries: Think about what inequities you are creating, enabling, or reducing with every tool or resource you provide... #AllyConf21 #AccessibleEducation #LibraryLife
On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, I’m wondering how certain publishers plan to ensure their content is actually accessible now that they’ve switched to fully digital. They’ve effectively locked out those of us that fix their problems by providing alternative formats. #GAAD
Accessibility Librarian retweeted
Happy #GAAD day. Tip 3 - getting 100% accurate captions is hard - even human captioners make mistakes, esp' with technical subjects. If 100% is unachievable in your context at least do SOMETHING to minimise barriers. Here's a list of somethings - advance-he.ac.uk/knowledge-hub/…

People with disabilities have been leaders in shaping the Accessible BC Act from the beginning and it’s with their continued input that we’ll be able to build a barrier-free BC. #bcpoli
