Saying #accessibility is an "enhancement" for web or mobile content is like saying flour enhances a cake. Accessibility is essential, a key ingredient that ensures web and mobile content is usable for everyone. #a11y #a11d

Post 3/3
These costs are often missing from conversations about “inclusion”.
But they’re the real economic reality of disability.

It’s not just the cost of living — it’s the price of neglect.
We need safer spaces to talk about this to create real change.

But for blind people specifically, the pay gap is a career gap.
Did you know that as a blind person with a degree you have the same employment chances as a non-disabled person without even one GCSE?
We work twice as hard for half the chance.

Due to my autism I need longer to process stimuli, so seeing a game in early access with the accessibility feature "playable without quick time events" makes me so happy! Quick time events can easily overstimulate me, so adding this makes the game playable for me.
