Gen Herres - Intro to Accessibility in WordPress

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
Accessibility is for everyone. At some point in our lives, everyone will have a temporary, situational, or permanent disability. A basic website is accessible and usable by nearly everyone, but the choices that we make can turn it from easy to use to completely unusable. Website accessibility is about making intelligent choices so that people can use websites in ways that are easy for them.
