Advancing Accessibility: Insights & Innovations

In this episode of iCantCU, I focus on web accessibility, the National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania, and a unique raffle ticket sale to support the NFB of PA.  I detail the raffle, explaining the process, the prizes, and the significance of the funds raised for the NFB of Pennsylvania. This initiative highlights the podcast's commitment to the visually impaired community and offers listeners a chance to contribute meaningfully. Most of the episode is dedicated to meeting ADA-Expert.com representatives and discussing advancements in web accessibility tools and strategies. I share insights from this meeting, emphasizing the importance of making digital spaces accessible to all. I shared my feelings with the group on how they should proceed to market with their accessibility widget.  Additionally, I provide a brief update on Ziggy, the Golden Menace. He seems to be doing well and wants to eat EVERYTHING.
