Accessibility Development Coaching: Engineering Teams Toward Maturity [virtual]

Virtual Event: Accessibility Development Coaching: Engineering Teams Toward Maturity
Presenter: Jaunita Flessas

Topic:
Our coaching practice blends the sharp eye of an engineer with the steady guidance of a mentor. We work directly with development teams to level up their accessibility maturity—teaching not just the how of accessible code, but the why of inclusive design. Coaches serve as half engineer, half strategist: diving into code reviews, walking through practical fixes, and helping teams adopt sustainable practices. The goal isn’t just compliance—it’s building teams that confidently deliver accessible products, sprint after sprint, until accessibility becomes as natural as writing a div.
