summary
Microsoft reports that 200,000+ employees must take required accessibility training and treats compliance across 6,000 products as the floor, not the goal. Practical tools named include GitHub Accessibility Scanner, the Accessibility Assistant in Office, and the Disability Answer Desk used as an accountability pipeline from customer support to engineering. For AI, a partnership with Team Gleason and Azure Foundry launches a Voice Preservation dashboard for people with ALS; Forrester data cited shows assistive tech use rising from 57% to 70%.
