Exclusion by Design: How Disability Gets Erased from Concept to Product (And How to Fix It)
Michele Williams
Disability exclusion is built into tech systems from the start, not a flaw appearing at the end. It shows up in "futuristic" city designs that ignore wheelchair users and hiring practices that shut out disabled talent, since accessibility is often a final checkbox rather than a guiding principle. This persists because disabled people rarely hold power to challenge it. The talk calls for a "disability mindset" centering disabled perspectives in products, teams, and research, offering strategies to elevate disabled voices in key decisions, drawing on "Accessible UX Research."

Anyone used / heard of Aloud (“The first 508 audit that actually listens”)?
github.com/IRS-Public/a...

It’s a CC0 project by the IRS that seems to want to be JAWS Inspect for native apps.

My look at README shows it’s got potential but may be grounded in misunderstandings.

Yes, artificial intelligence (AI) functions as a powerful #accessibility tool by converting text into different formats, transcribing speech in real time, and describing visual environments for people with diverse needs #a11y

A double-edged sword: AI boosts independence but needs human oversight

A clean accessibility scan doesn't mean customers can shop. Test the journey, not just the page.

Rebellion Starts With One Small Act.

Add captions to your next post, video, or reel. Someone in your audience needs them. They're just waiting to be included.

Small acts done consistently are how culture actually changes.

Appalled that no reasonable adjustments were made for the contestant with a wheelchair in #GBBO - why not a lowered worktop and an oven / fridge that were at an appropriate height. #a11y

If readers must decode your jargon before understanding your message, you've created a barrier. Accessibility starts with language.

Reinforces a method of visibly labeling and programmatically naming controls in tables that I also follow.
