#We4authors Cluster is moving on to next face and is looking for testers that work as web editors or web author. We want to offer accessibility by default in CMS systems. You got the opportunity to change the future! #we4authorscluster #CMS accessibilitycluster.com/authoringTool/

I'm struggling to get a clear timeline for implementations of the #AccessibleCanadaAct I'm surprised that 15 months after the act was passed that the roles for a Accessibility Commissioner or a Chief Accessibility Officer remain empty. /c Accessible Canada David Lametti #a11y

Every day, people with cerebral palsy break down barriers and push past boundaries. They make our country stronger and more vibrant - and this #WorldCPDay, we celebrate them. Together, let’s keep working to make sure everyone can live a life without limits.

Devs don't get mad because you're asking them to make things accessible. They get mad because you're asking them to do work over again. They get mad because you could have asked earlier. They get mad because you contradict yourself later on and recommend something different.

"Often times #disabled people are called "#inspiring." It is a word people cling to when feel uncomfortable, awkward. If "inspiring" is used towards a positive action then it is something positive. I like it when people say I am inspired to make my website #accessible." 1/2
