Global Accessibility Awareness Day: Change-makers at Work

It's never been more critical to integrate accessible design into our apps and websites. Join us as we examine the hopes and challenges of an AI-fueled digital landscape. With the proliferation of AI into everything from website design to coding, Grant Hardy evaluates the state of digital accessibility in 2026 and beyond. Joe Devon, Co-Founder of GAAD and the GAAD Foundation, and Jennison Asuncion, Co-Founder of GAAD and Chair of the GAAD Foundation, discuss how their GAAD Foundation promotes accessibility and inclusion, on Global Accessibility Awareness Day and all year round. They also discuss the pros and cons of AI vibe coding, allowing anyone to create apps and websites of varying quality. Steven Scott, Host of Double Tap on AMI-audio, shares the positive aspects of vibe coding, including his successes and hopes for the future of the technology. Accessibility Engineer and Software Developer Taylor Arndt takes us through her perspectives, opinions, and realities of working with changing technology day in and day out.
