Accessibility101 The Mouse

Hello again, I hope you are doing well. When I first decided to start the Accessibility Advantage Podcast, I promised that I would be providing short 101 tutorials, sharing case studies of my clients, and hosting interviews with organization leaders who have embraced accessibility to their benefit. Today, I'm sharing my first 101 tutorial. It is about an aspect of accessibility that most people I talk to are still not familiar with. Today's Subject That is the fact that most adaptive technology users like myself do not have regular access to a mouse. Often, we are frustrated or even made angry by not being able to begin or complete an action online because an important button wasn't properly formatted. I hope that listening to this short lesson will encourage you to start designing your sites for keyboard access first. Why Share These Tutorials? I have been educating people about accessibility since starting my first website brokering used amusement park & carnival equipment in 2007 when the lack of accessibility forced me to teach myself to code html in order to get my site online. Things are so much better now, but accessibility is still something left out by too many website designers or developers. I'm hoping that by sharing content like this you will see accessibility isn't so scary. And you will begin the process of improving accessibility on your own sites or advocating for the sites where you work to be made more inclusive. If you need help, I am here for you. Thanks, Max
