Debunking Accessibility Myths

Our team have been working in accessibility for many, many years.During that time, we’ve had to debunk many accessibility ‘myths’ in the minds of many people in organisations we work with, whether they’re Developers, Content Authors, Designers, Testers or Procurement Managers.All of these myths hold people back from doing accessibility well, or even doing it at all. Some myths have been around for as long as we have (e.g. websites can be 100% accessible). Others are more recent (e.g. AI tools can fix accessibility).In this session, our team share their favourite accessiblity myths and how to combat them, including;PDFS aren’t accessibleARIA fixes everythingAudits should be done just before launchPersonas are great for testingWCAG is the lawThis audio was originally recorded as a webinar.You can access the video recording of the webinar, and its transcript, here: https://www.hassellinclusion.com/webinars/debunking-accessibility-myths/Access it for free by registering on HiHub (https://www.hassellinclusion.com/webinars/) which will also give you access to recordings of all our past webinars, and keep you updated on upcoming webinars.
