When discussing
accessibility, digital or otherwise, there are a lot of things to
consider—legal compliance, technical needs, standards, etc. However, at
its very core, accessibility is about people. The reason that
accessibility is important is because of the people who are affected by
inaccessible content.
On April 29, we were very fortunate to have a group of University of
Minnesota students who identify as people with disabilities willing to
discuss their experiences and share how inaccessibility affects them in
their lives, careers, and education.
