hi hello hey, let’s talk about accessibility!

You may remember we did an episode last year on assistive technology and tools we use. On today’s episode, we’re shifting the focus to accessibility and the things in our lives that are easy or difficult to use. When things aren’t accessible, our tools can’t compensate, regardless of which ones we use. We hope you learn something today and enjoy our examples of good and bad accessibility in the digital and physical world!
