Mike Gifford, CPWAHappy to have my work in the Accessibility Chapter of the HTTP Archive's Web Almanac featured in StateScoop. <a href="https://statescoop.com/state-websites-dont-meet-upcoming-doj-accessibility-requirements/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://statescoop.com/state-websites-dont-meet-upcoming-doj-accessibility-requirements/</a>I belive that this is the first government-wide scan of USA states for web accessibility. The report averages over 34,000 state government web pages to create a meaningful snapshot of how inclusive government sites are.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Section508" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Section508</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USAGovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USAGovernment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GoogleLighthouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleLighthouse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/axe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#axe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WebAccessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebAccessibility</a>

Darrell Hilliker 👨‍🦯♾️📡Another thing I see far too often in <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> testing is the inappropriate use of screen readers (NVDA Speech Viewer) without actually experiencing the speech output as a real user would. This is another thing that just seems fundamentally wrong, as how are you doing valid testing without that experience? <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TrustedTester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrustedTester</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DHS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Section508" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Section508</a>

Darrell Hilliker 👨‍🦯♾️📡Look, everyone... The trouble with <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> testing tools like <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ANDI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ANDI</a> is that a person can end up performing accessibility testing without experiencing content as an actual <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disabled</a> user. It insulates them from using keyboard-only navigation, screen readers, screen magnification, etc. This just seems fundamentally wrong to me. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TrustedTester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrustedTester</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DHS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Section508" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Section508</a>

Mike Gifford, CPWAHappy to provide a quote or two for this article on the OMB's new memo on accessibility.

Taylor ArndtExciting news to share! I've officially passed the Section 508 Trusted Tester certification, marking a significant milestone in my accessibility journey, which spans over six years. This achievement is more than just a certification for me; it's a testament to my commitment to digital inclusivity and accessibility. Over the past six years, I've dedicated myself to understanding and advocating for the needs of all users, especially those with disabilities, in the digital realm. The Section 508 Trusted Tester certification deepens my expertise and equips me with robust tools to evaluate and enhance digital accessibility. As someone passionate about making technology accessible to everyone, this certification reinforces my resolve to ensure that accessibility is integral to digital design and development. I am eager to apply these enhanced skills to create more inclusive and user-friendly digital experiences. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey - colleagues, mentors, and the accessibility community. Your guidance and inspiration have been pivotal in reaching this point. I'm looking forward to continuing my work in this vital field, making a tangible difference in how we interact with technology. Let's make the digital world accessible for all! <a href="https://techopolis.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://techopolis.social/tags/DigitalInclusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalInclusion</a> <a href="https://techopolis.social/tags/Section508" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Section508</a> <a href="https://techopolis.social/tags/Certification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Certification</a> <a href="https://techopolis.social/tags/ProfessionalGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfessionalGrowth</a>

Jayme<a href="https://indieweb.social/@Suzie97" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Suzie97</a> Good news!All you really need to do is ensure that what you build is keyboard accessible. This allows for the use of custom switch controls for a wide variety of assistive technologies.Essentially, the game controller (or any other switch/controller) is mapped to your keyboard bindings.So even if you can't use a QWERTY keyboard, keyboard accessible apps can still work for you.This is the logic behind accessibility standards like Section 508, so you don't have to micro-tune your code for every device that might be invented.Most importantly, this allows everyone with a disability to get what they need from whatever control surface/switch they can use.<a href="https://c.im/tags/Section508" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Section508</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AT</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/KeyboardA11Y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KeyboardA11Y</a>
