Join us for a free webinar to celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). Share this with your colleagues and friends to raise awareness about the importance of digital accessibility! What we’ll cover: Starting out or continuing to improve maturity, the impact of digital accessibility on assistive technology users and what automated tools won’t show you. The purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking, and learning about digital access and inclusion, and the more than one billion people globally with disability. We will learn from our Digital Accessibility Practice Technical Lead, Beau Vass about ‘A false sense of accessibility: What automated testing tools are missing’. It is widely stated that automated accessibility testing tools find around 20-30% of accessibility issues. What is not as widely reported is what that means in practice; what issues can be found? How significant are the 80% of issues that cannot be found? By understanding the strengths and weaknesses of these tools, we can understand where and how (and if at all) these tools fit into our accessibility strategy, and what else we need to do to ensure our digital systems are accessible and usable for everyone. We are thrilled to be joined by John Paul Cruz, a disability policy and digital accessibility and inclusion specialist with a focus on human rights, accessibility, child rights, digital transformation, health information, and urban development. He is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne, researching the improvement of online health information accessibility for people who are blind or have low vision. John will share his experience on the significance of digital accessibility for assistive technology users and provide insights to support organisations on their digital accessibility and inclusion journey.
