Topic: How We Talk About Accessibility
All accessibility advocates and professionals have to talk with others
about accessibility. Maybe that's a colleague, or a boss, or an
organizational leader, or a corporate client, to get awareness,
understanding, and buy-in. You have to explain a complex social topic to
a mixed audience that wears many hats and have different levels of
understanding about technology and accessibility. This presentation will
briefly detail how to communicate many accessibility basics to a diverse
audience.
