Topics

We are talking about Accessibility today, but specifically
gearing the conversation towards developers. Why?

So many people when coding for accessibility simply provide
workarounds. Why can this be dangerous?

What is ARIA?

What is meant by the term Landmarks?

How does this apply to dev’s working with Drupal?

What modules do you recommend?

How can you help content editors maintain accessibility while
adding content?

What are common pitfalls you see devs make

How can Javascript help or hurt Accessibility?

In closing, is there anything you would like to add?
