Introduction to accessibility

About the talk:
Humans! We interact with products in a very wide range of ways. In this introduction to accessibility we’ll talk about:

• how small accessibility improvements help more people than we might think;
• what Web Accessibility Standards there are;
• which first few checks and tests we can take towards making our products more accessible;

Note: this talk contains mild, no-talking-required, interactivity.

Who should come:
