| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility RT @yourdolphin: |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh A2 I say this a lot each week, listening & open dialogue is what we need in the EU & also all over the world. #AXSChat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility Nice GoT tie-in Claire, and very true!! @alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |
| NosWhyNot? @NosWhyNot RT @dan0mah: A2: |
 | Karyn Fillhart @Filibuster3 @AlanChaulet @AXSChat I was in Paris lat month for the #E2 conference with #MicrosoftEDU and my team wrote a lesson on #accessibility. We noticed a number of issues with the most obvious being the door handles, including round handles on the "handicapped" restroom door. #AXSChat |
| NosWhyNot? @NosWhyNot RT @Unuhinuii: |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess A great deal! The EU has competence to legislate in a number of key areas, for example passengers rights, the internal market, copyright, telecommunication rules etc. We will be asking for more #accessibility laws from politicians over the next 5 years #AXSchat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @AkwyZ: |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @Unuhinuii: |
| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong A1. We still have lots of work to do, but are lucky to have the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and pending federal accessibility legislation in Canada. Highlighting how accessibility for one improves usability for many will echo with politicians. #AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh Welcome to #AXSChat Mher. |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @AkwyZ: |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess We agree! We also need member states to ensure strong enforcement at national level. #AXSchat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility A2: Work with the government agencies to try and move the needle toward updated accessible trends and best practices. I know it is easy to say, but very tough to do!! @alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh Fabulous share @AndyAUCD. Your #leadership has added great value to the #USA. Thank you. #valuable500 #AXSChat @CarolineBinc #disabilityinclusion #leaders #MentalHealth |
 | Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz Checking in from the car (no worries a passenger) to #AXSChat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility RT @debraruh: Fabulous share @AndyAUCD. Your #leadership has added great value to the #USA. Thank you. #valuable500 #AXSChat @CarolineBinc #disabilityinclusion #leaders #MentalHealth |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility RT @debraruh: Welcome back Carol-Ann. We enjoy when you join us during #AXSChat |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess That's also the role of member states as they often set the rules on enforcement. Weak enforcement is not helpful for anyone #AXSchat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh Technology is changing the world for people with #disabilities. Thanks @Paula_Piccard #AXSChat #Valuable500 #smartglasses #AI #wearables |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh A3 involving all types of users at the development stage is one easy way to ensure a more accessible end product #AXSChat |
| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong @Unuhinuii @alexmoledo @MyEDF @AXSChat @a11yATX Not sure if anyone from Toronto will be in Austin for AccessU, but I will be at @a11yTO camp this Saturday! #AXSChat #GAAD #GAAD2019 |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @MyEDF Unfortunately the broad sweeping standards of WCAG and the assistive tech mindset keep many marginalized. Good for those with tech skills and resources to acquire A.T. but not some. Learn more at An Introduction To Inclusive Web Accessibility https://t.co/lHaTcYd7vi #axschat https://t.co/k7EHw1Bp3Z |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess And we'll continue to work on this #axschat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh This is so cool. Never underestimate a person with #DownSyndrome #AXSChat |
 | The InCluencer 💜 @BiancaPrins@mstdn.social @BiancaPrins A1, at first, I love this topic! Engaging with politicians, it's not as hard as it seems: A) connect to a political party fitting your personal preferences B) start talking about #accessibility C) write an article and share D) keep on calling die attention! #axschat |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess RT @AkwyZ: |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility So true Alejandro. Stories are key at getting a message across in a way that grounds the topic to a person that makes it very real to the listener!! @alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A3 Re examine the current standards and best practices that do exclude people. #axschat https://t.co/MPc44Uzhzp |

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz A2. The EU may have work to do, but far ahead of us in the States. I was just in a meeting and pulled out accessible and beautiful designs from EU that are decades old. #AXSChat |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess We use good practice like this to persuade politicians that things are possible. #AXSchat |
| Carol-Ann Chafe @C_AChafe Hey @PeterBArmstrong I know @jennjchadwick is in Austin AccessU. I will b ar @a11yTO camp & Jenn will b there too,as well as Richard Aubrey...see you there |
| The InCluencer 💜 @BiancaPrins@mstdn.social @BiancaPrins A2, the #EU made a great start with the #EuropeanAccessibilityAct, now it is about upholding the commitment. We all need to pitch in, because the #disability community needs to stay on top of execution! #axschat #accessibility #inclusion |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh Good plan @EDFaccess. Thank you for your leadership. #AXSChat |
| Drea @DreaVilleneuve A3: Hire people with disabilities. Appoint them to boards and advisories. Invite them to the table and welcome their innovation. #AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh Welcome to #AXSChat @GailZahtz |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @abrightclearweb: |
| Karyn Fillhart @Filibuster3 @AkwyZ @AlanChaulet @AXSChat Good to know. We were concentrating on the physical accessibility as we were on a tour around Paris and of the hotel. #AXSChat |

| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @NeilMilliken: |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz A3. Just read a great article from a person with "disabilities" who said the community needs less new tech and more integration of access- an interesting counterpoint. #AXSChat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility A3: By Including PwD into the design & engineering mix!!! It not only will improve the universal functionality and overall quality of the product/service but will also provide job opportunities to the community!! @alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |

| Debra Ruh @debraruh I am here Claire. @abrightclearweb sorry trying to catch up. I have been traveling and my twitter account was slammed. #AXSChat |
| Karyn Fillhart @Filibuster3 @AXSChat Actively seek a diverse staff or consultants at all stages of the development process. No one can better advocate for change.. They can share their personal experiences. #axschat |
 | abigail bentil Holten @BentilHolten RT @alexmoledo: A3: |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @debraruh I saw your stream and just had to jump in- you're always up to something interesting :-) #AXSChat |

| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility RT @debraruh: This is so cool. Never underestimate a person with #DownSyndrome #AXSChat |
 | Easter 💮 Jenn @jlms_qkw RT @EDFaccess: And we'll continue to work on this #axschat |
| The InCluencer 💜 @BiancaPrins@mstdn.social @BiancaPrins A3, we need to put #InclusiveDesign on top of all developments, put #accessibility in the center of any process, project, design, not because of legislation. It's about putting customers satisfaction first!!! #axschat #inclusion |
| The InCluencer 💜 @BiancaPrins@mstdn.social @BiancaPrins RT @EDFaccess: A great deal! The EU has competence to legislate in a number of key areas, for example passengers rights, the internal market, copyright, telecommunication rules etc. We will be asking for more #accessibility laws from politicians over the next 5 years #AXSchat |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess We discuss this in our new report! 'Plug and Pray, A disability perspective on artificial intelligence, automated decision-making and emerging technologies' Download it here in PDF > https://t.co/srygZnRFWM #axschat #AI |
 | That gal @keefergal RT @DreaVilleneuve: A3: A3: Hire people with disabilities. Appoint them to boards and advisories. Invite them to the table and welcome their innovation. #AXSChat |
| Karyn Fillhart @Filibuster3 @AlanChaulet @AkwyZ @AXSChat Our tour guide said the goal is to be accessible by the Olympics. I was also impressed how versed she was on the topic and how they extend tours when they know there will be people in wheelchairs to make sure they don't miss out on parts due to extra time to load. #axschat |
| Carol-Ann Chafe @C_AChafe Totally agree @yourdolphin thats why i always do shout out to @Microsoft They help our program Entrepreneurs & Professionals with Disabilities. Plus teach us #accessibility in tech for business & professional use and provide space for our meets.We have thank companies who step up |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @dan0mah Language is always important and tricky. I say "design for people of all ages and abilities" a mouthful but more clearly what I believe. People want less "accomodating" more natural inclusion #AXSChat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility yes, agreed Bianca...then the last step to your list. E) Repeat!!@alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |
| NosWhyNot? @NosWhyNot RT @NeilMilliken: |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess But we'll keep going! #AXSChat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility RT @yourdolphin: |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @StreitzAbility @alexmoledo @MyEDF I wanted to include people so I asked a blind colleague on the board of @SightConnection. "I myself use screen reader software to access programs on my computer. Trying to go online and look for information on websites with it is tedious and time consuming." #axschat https://t.co/LuAmWZuz5F |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @AkwyZ How great if this was a universal concept! #AXSChat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility RT @EDFaccess: We use good practice like this to persuade politicians that things are possible. #AXSchat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A4 Policy smacks of rules and regulations. Perhaps focus on areas that result in fewer policies and processes. If people learn to behave there will be less need for policies that try to regulate them. #axschat |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess RT @alexmoledo: A1: |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh A4 Policy Makers need to listen to what the constituent says is most important as that’s who they’re working for #AXSChat |
| Drea @DreaVilleneuve A4: They should all be priority. Many solutions would be applicable in different areas. Education should encompass advising employers and product manufacturers. #AXSChat |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @BiancaPrins Agree. Why don't we talk more about the benefits to those doing the "inclusion" instead of just those "included"? #AXSChat |
| Carol-Ann Chafe @C_AChafe RT @BiancaPrins: A3, we need to put #InclusiveDesign on top of all developments, put #accessibility in the center of any process, project, design, not because of legislation. It's about putting customers satisfaction first!!! #axschat #inclusion |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility Amen to that Gail!! I agree we have much ground to cover here in the USA!!! @GailZahtz @alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility RT @NeilMilliken: |
| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong @debraruh That would be amazing, Debra! I think you'd really enjoy Toronto's accessibility camp. Fingers crossed we actually get to connect in person one day. Until then, Twitter it is! #AXSChat |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz RT @StreitzAbility: Amen to that Gail!! I agree we have much ground to cover here in the USA!!! @GailZahtz @alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |

| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong RT @NeilMilliken: |
| The InCluencer 💜 @BiancaPrins@mstdn.social @BiancaPrins A4, as policy maker your focus tends to be on checking boxes 🆗️ #accessibility needs to be part of the corporate culture, embedded into the organization, as part of business. The #accessibility policy needs to support the business, employee approach! #axschat #inclusion |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess We agree. EU funding should be conditional on accessibility and involvement of persons with disabilities #AXSChat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @dan0mah @abrightclearweb @Unuhinuii Maybe they're just saying what everyone does and pretends it's access. #axschat |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess It's on our roadmap :-) #AXSchat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility A4: Education should be the 1st tier to work. History has shown us that it is fundamental in an civilization. Once we start creating that awareness in school, all other items will organically be created/ adjusted as that generation grows!! @alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility RT @alexmoledo: |
 | Sami Virtanen @samivirtanen RT @alexmoledo: A2: |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A5 Provide inclusive access to the physical and digital worlds. Remove personal agendas and motives that skew results. #axschat |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess @debraruh @alexmoledo is our team leader. And he is very persuasive! #AXSchat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility RT @dan0mah: A4: |

| The InCluencer 💜 @BiancaPrins@mstdn.social @BiancaPrins A5, accessible voting starts with an end to assuming a ♿ focus leads to inclusive elections. Because the ♿ is about physical barriers, what about people with a hearing, visual, and cognitieve #disability? Can they vote? Do they get the information to vote? #axschat #inclusion |
| Carol-Ann Chafe @C_AChafe A4 #axschat All r a priority, education, housing, employment, transportation, community and medical services, IT and communication. These r all important services for everyone and we #PwD (visable & invisible) are part of “Everyone” #Accessibility #UniversalDesign = inclusion |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh A5 Ten days is a quick time table to change, but if we listen to needs & have compassion then it is possible #AXSChat |
| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong A3. Including people of diverse backgrounds and abilities in early design and user testing stages will help ensure technologies do not exclude people with disabilities. #AXSChat #inclusion |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility Wow, that is pretty shocking Dan!! They are not being very helpful to the community!!! @alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess We talk to them and ask them ensure accessibility is 'on their radar' in all policy areas. It is always relevant #AXSchat |
 | Kate Nash OBE 💜 @KateNashOBE RT @NeilMilliken: |
| The InCluencer 💜 @BiancaPrins@mstdn.social @BiancaPrins A6, I would love to see #accessibility in all political departments, including a coordinator to allign the interests of involved departments, making sure one doesn't impact the other in a negative way. #axschat #inclusion |

| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @DestekSolutions: |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @dan0mah @abrightclearweb @Unuhinuii Fine true enough but many are making efforts when they don't know the whole story. In terms of digital access they spout "it needs to be screen reader friendly" without any knowledge or experience associated with using one. There's little discussion of abandonment rates. #axschat https://t.co/JJ8N7hTgEw |

| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @alexmoledo The interesting part is that if you look at European design history (e.g. "mid century") the concept of function within beauty has been being used. Then it's a dichotomy when in a structure people can't get into. #AXSChat |

 | Mei Lin Fung @meilinfung #TechonomyNYC @mark.brand standout speaker on hiring vulnerable people “trust your instincts” ....“we do a drag show in our diner” “this top down shit is over” “this is a place for radical inclusion” #axschat #inclusion #diversity https://t.co/DKqIDmRKZl |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A6 More alignment of inclusive accessibility in the physical and digital worlds. A re-examination of access standards that inhibit innovation, inclusion and progress. Less access silo thinking and rigidity. #axschat https://t.co/5OcxVdO9Ti |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @Unuhinuii @dan0mah We've been talking universal design for a long time. Sad that the concepts and langauge got wrongly defined as "wheelchair accessible." #AXSChat |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess Ask candidates in your country whether they have signed the @MyEDF manifesto for disability rights! #AXSchat #ThisTimeImVoting #EUelections2019 |
| The InCluencer 💜 @BiancaPrins@mstdn.social @BiancaPrins This is exactly the issue in current approach by many governmental institutions, and businesses, AA is checking boxes, not about customer satisfaction 🤷♀️ #axschat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility A5: I am afraid, I am not familiar with the voting process in Europe, but I believe making sure there is adequate input from this community involved with the committees/groups responsible for the public voting machines, locations, etc... @alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |

| EDFaccess @EDFaccess If voting is not accessible, write to your MP or your minister. Be vocal on social media. Tell us! Use the #DisabilityVote hashtag #AXSchat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @dan0mah Thanks Dan! "I played with your site this morning—really interested in the accessible experience. Enjoyed the ease at which I was able to navigate—great interaction design." #axschat https://t.co/W9OcILXccv |

| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @cldbrand: @dan0mah @abrightclearweb @Unuhinuii Maybe they're just saying what everyone does and pretends it's access. #axschat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh A6 More AI assistances! #AXSChat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility Yes, manual testing is essential to guarantee that it can be used functionally by all!!! It seems so obvious, yet it is rarely done. @alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |
 | Catherine Soplet @Soplet RT @C_AChafe: A1 #axschat I engage on social media, being a mbr of gov. Accessibility Advisory Committees, attend public events and more. We can engage at all levels. Be a voice, a role model, a community #accessibility advocate |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @MyEDF: |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @EDFaccess: Public procurement is indeed a major lever to deliver accessibility. worth billions of euros. We now have EU #PublicProcurement laws that mandate accessibility in the EU. These came into force in 2016 #axschat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility yeah!!! glad you made it Kate!!! #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh This is so true Alejandro. Everyone should be able to #vote. #AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @dan0mah: |
| Catherine Soplet @Soplet RT @C_AChafe: A4 #axschat All r a priority, education, housing, employment, transportation, community and medical services, IT and communication. These r all important services for everyone and we #PwD (visable & invisible) are part of “Everyone” #Accessibility #UniversalDesign = inclusion |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess What's really important is to ensure that people's rights are protected. #Accessibility if a major driver of innovation. But persons with disabilities want the same right to #privacy and #security as everyone else. At @MyEDF we'll work to protect these rights #axschat |
| NosWhyNot? @NosWhyNot RT @AkwyZ: |
| Drea @DreaVilleneuve @debraruh More inclusive AI assistances. There’s data showing AI lacks diversity so application suffers. #AXSChat |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess RT @alexmoledo: |
| Kate Nash OBE 💜 @KateNashOBE A3. Agree! Companies are eco systems full of people who need acknowledgment they are on right path - like individual people do too we sometimes forget that, #GrowthMindset, was with @EditDevelopment last night. Sonia reminded me of the power we have to create change #AXSchat |
| Kate Nash OBE 💜 @KateNashOBE RT @AkwyZ: |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @dan0mah @abrightclearweb @Unuhinuii It's not equal access. I can see & don't need a screen reader. Someone who can't does to hear audio that sounds robotic Then WCAG says no auto audio when people with visual challenges rely on audio for access. Is a blind person supposed to touch me to start my voice? #axschat https://t.co/nH1L5QADCy |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess RT @alexmoledo: |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @dan0mah It is one of my favorites. I am truly grateful and do thank you! Hard to express how much it really means. #axschat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @StreitzAbility: Amen to that Gail!! I agree we have much ground to cover here in the USA!!! @GailZahtz @alexmoledo @MyEDF #AXSChat #RuhGlobal |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @GailZahtz: A3. Just read a great article from a person with "disabilities" who said the community needs less new tech and more integration of access- an interesting counterpoint. #AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @GailZahtz: A2. The EU may have work to do, but far ahead of us in the States. I was just in a meeting and pulled out accessible and beautiful designs from EU that are decades old. #AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh You are adding Great value to #AXSChat Gail. |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @abrightclearweb: |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @Unuhinuii: |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @GailZahtz: @C_AChafe They're also all overlapping. What's the point in addressing housing if it's not accessible and doesn't have fresh food or clean water...people are entire beings. We need systems for humans. #AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @abrightclearweb: |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @BiancaPrins: A6, I would love to see #accessibility in all political departments, including a coordinator to allign the interests of involved departments, making sure one doesn't impact the other in a negative way. #axschat #inclusion |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @NeilMilliken: |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @NeilMilliken: |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess RT @MyEDF: A5: We also need to think after voting. We need politicians to commit to #DisabilityRights! That's why we have this pledge: |
 | Julie Hunt @juliebhunt RT @GailZahtz: @dan0mah Language is always important and tricky. I say "design for people of all ages and abilities" a mouthful but more clearly what I believe. People want less "accomodating" more natural inclusion #AXSChat |
| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong @C_AChafe @jennjchadwick @a11yTO Awesome! Looking forward to catching up with you and the usual suspects at camp Saturday. #AXSChat #GAAD |
| NosWhyNot? @NosWhyNot I'm sorry #Axschat , today I've been silent. The issue of politicians is an issue that angers me, and in Spain this month we have two elections! My ability to resist politics is saturated 😂 See you next week! |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh @ARuivoFelix @EDFaccess and @alexmoledo thank you for allowing #AXSChat feature your amazing work today on @AXSChat. We sure appreciate your leadership in #disabilityinclusion and accessibility field. My #family thanks you. #DownSyndrome #dementia. https://t.co/px9gyZ4svZ |
 | Sonia Bate @EditDevelopment RT @KateNashOBE: A3. Agree!

| Kate Nash OBE 💜 @KateNashOBE We love you too. Did you hear our friends in Oz @ANDisability took a poll at conference - 70% of audience think they should join #PurpleLightUp & we aligning objectives to those of @500Valuable so as they say in South London stand by your beds 💜@MyPurpleSpace #AXSChat |
| Kate Nash OBE 💜 @KateNashOBE RT @debraruh: Hello Kate. So glad my hair is #purple (and grey) to help celebrate #purplelightup. We love you in the States. #AXSChat #Valuable500 @katenash @MyPurpleSpace |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @Unuhinuii @dan0mah @abrightclearweb Fine this one is from 2018. To dismiss "old" stats assumes that nothing about it is true anymore and perhaps even an insult to the team who worked hard on them. "Abandonment of assistive technologies (ATs) is a serious problem – rates of abandonment can be high, 78%" #axschat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh Yes Andrea. I agree. I know many are trying to be conscious of #unconscious #bias however I fear we still have so much work to do to assure #AI includes us all. #AXSChat @DreaVilleneuve |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @AkwyZ: |
| EDFaccess @EDFaccess @debraruh @ARuivoFelix @alexmoledo @AXSChat @sararuh Lovely photo! Thank you for having us :-) #AXschat has been a great experience! |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @dan0mah @Unuhinuii Yes. Could we add the word integration in place of accommodation somewhere? #AXSChat |
 | Curious Luke @TheCuriousLuke RT @dan0mah: |
 | Andy Imparato @AndyDRC Thanks Debra so has yours! |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @debraruh Thank you so much Debra! Please feel free to send me reminders on the #AXSChat and related activities! Love love the conversation and mutual understanding of shared goals! |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh For you @katenash. Let’s all color our #hair #purple for #PurpleLightUp. @Jules_John you wear purple shoes. @CarolineBinc has #purple disco pants. @NeilMilliken could wear purple suit. Let’s light up purple for #IDPD2019 on Dec 3rd. Lots of time to plan. #AXSChat @500Valuable https://t.co/ruUuLSNUZX |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @ARuivoFelix: |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @Unuhinuii @dan0mah @abrightclearweb It assumes all audio is the same & makes no provision for audio that could be assistive. And herein lies one of the main problems with WCAG is that it makes so many assumptions thus preventing solutions that counter them in the interest of progress from gaining traction #axschat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh Agree. I adore @alexmoledo. We met on #Turkey. I am a big fan. #AXSChat |
| Kate Nash OBE 💜 @KateNashOBE RT @PeterBArmstrong: A1. We still have lots of work to do, but are lucky to have the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and pending federal accessibility legislation in Canada. Highlighting how accessibility for one improves usability for many will echo with politicians. #AXSChat |
| Gail Zahtz 🇮🇱 @GailZahtz @Unuhinuii @dan0mah This is a great example of why I believe we need to act around "design thinking" and experience design #AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh Appreciate you dropping by #AXSChat. We are here very Tuesday at this time discussing #A11Y, #accessibility and #disabilityinclusion. Learn more at https://t.co/KOKy7A7S9t @NeilMilliken @AkwyZ @AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh We love how smart you are Deborah. Bravo. #AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh I am quite fond of #Toronto too. Enjoy the meetup Peter. #AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh You added a lot of value. Welcome to #USA. Let me know if I can help. #AXSChat |
