TTC welcomes you to join us for a free webinar to celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). We will learn from an IAG team about their digital accessibility journey, the progress they have made, and what has helped with their development. In addition to learning about some of the team’s exciting outcomes, we will learn more about the importance of tooling. Accessibility tools can support teams to embed accessibility into the way that they work, and TTC will showcase this through a short demonstration of AQA, an accessibility testing tool that we use for some of our auditing. It’s important for us as accessibility professionals to revisit why we do what we do, and It’s important for other IT teams and organisations to learn from each other. Whether you are a designer, developer, tester, or simply have interest in this topic, learning more about the why, what, and how will hopefully inspire you or your team to progress on your digital accessibility journey!
