Check out our recent interview on digital accessibility and check out our upcoming event on Diversity AND Disability. https://lnkd.in/gpWCZaTD

What is digital accessibility? Digital accessibility is the practice of making electronic and information systems--as well as the equipment in runs on--accessible to people with disabilities. Websites, email, PDFs, copy machines, even your office phones need to be considered when working towards an accessible workplace. Whether its someone who is blind who can't see a picture on your website or someone with a cognitive difference like dyslexia who has trouble parsing that long and detailed company email, digital accessibility touches all parts of our modern lives and focusing on it ensures we all have access to information and communication. Over the next several months we'll be sharing highlights from this webinar. Stay tuned for more accessibility tips! -- One of many insights from my conversation earlier this month with Hiram Kuykendall, hosted by Disability:IN Central Texas You can view the entire interview here: https://lnkd.in/gn8R8Xfm #Disability #Accessibility #Hiring #Inclusion #PeakPerformers Peak Performers Disability:IN
