Outreach

Presentations, training, and special events help create awareness. We want to build a community of practice around digital accessibility.

Every May, we take part in the annual Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). This event gets everyone talking, thinking, and learning about digital access, inclusion, and people with disabilities. 

Monthly Digital Accessibility Office Hours is a work session with a participant-driven agenda.
