But there’s still time for you to be proactive in putting the necessary foundations in place to meet EAA requirements and ensure you provide inclusive experiences for people with disabilities.

The findings are clear and stark: the trans and intersex movements are under attack and under-resourced. Despite these ongoing struggles, trans and intersex movements are organizing and strategizing across local to international geographic levels, defending hard-won rights, and leading sophisticated campaigns for human rights and bodily self-determination.

How Strict Should We Be When Testing for WCAG Conformance? Presented by TPGi
Thursday, December 12, 2024 10:00 AM EST
Tags: Accessibility, Virtual, Free
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are a curious blend of strictness and looseness. Some guidelines are precise, with clear objective requirements, while others are more far more subjective and open to interpretation. Why is that? This webinar begins with a simple question — “Which WCAG conformance level should we aim for?” But to answer that effectively, we’ll have to ask some deeper questions, such as — “Who do we favor when there’s more than one interpretation?” Our clients are the ones who hire us, to help them make their content more accessible. But is it actually our job to help clients?
