My tiny sketchnotes from "The Path of Least Resistance Toward Accessibility"

Last night was the last Wellington Web Accessibility Meetup of the year, The Path of Least Resistance Toward Accessibility, and it was great! Below are my (sketch)notes.

Sketchnotes, text description follows image

Dianne Tennent gave a great talk on “How can we embed Accessibility into the way we work?”

  • Ideally, accessibility from the ground up.
  • Be aware that enthusiasm can come in waves.
  • Some resistances to doing accessibility work: Time; WCAG; Expertise; Priorities; Technical Risk.

A path to accessibility:

  1. C-level Mandate.
  2. Leverage automation.
    • map coverage, prioritise.
  3. Don’t reinvent the wheel.
  4. Focus on the human quotient.
  5. Talk about debt.
  6. Aim low.
    • Low hanging fruit.
  7. Within-team collaboration.
  8. Cross-team knowledge distribution.
