When people talk about accessibility, they often have a narrow view of it, whether it’s only about disability or that it’s something developers and designers are responsible for in tech. While that’s not wrong, it is insufficient. Learn about bringing accessibility into your work in general as a product manager and understand how accessibility is about us all.
