Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) created to draw attention to and encourage conversation and action around digital access and inclusion for people with disabilities. Digital accessibility is not hard; you can make a big impact on access TODAY with these 4 quick and easy changes. I encourage you, in the spirit of GAAD and to support the Civil Rights of all, to give it a try. 1) Be sure that any video you post (homemade or from YouTube) has accurate closed captions. No captions? Add them yourself, or pick another video. 2) Anytime you post a picture to your favorite Social Media site (or add one to a document, website, or email) look for the Alternate or ALT Text option and add a 1-2 sentence description of the image. 3) Making a PPT, Keynote, or Google Slides presentation? Use the built-in slide templates without moving content around or adding more fields. No template that matches your needs? Go to the Master Template and make one! 4) Use the built-in "Styles" to create Headings in documents, posted content, web pages, blogs, etc. (No more highlighting the title, centering it on the page, and clicking "bold".)

Today, we celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), and I’m thrilled to share some exciting news from Recite Me: the launch of our new training course! Since discovering I’m dyslexic, I’ve been on a mission to create a more inclusive world. IDPD is a powerful reminder to reflect on the progress we’ve made, celebrate the advocates driving change, and recommit to building a future where accessibility is a priority. One area where this change is gaining momentum is with the European Accessibility Act (EAA). Coming into effect on June 28, 2025, the EAA extends accessibility requirements to private companies with over 10 employees and a ￡2 million turnover. This is a huge step forward for creating a more inclusive digital world—and we’re here to help you get ready.
