The Accessibility to Burnout Pipeline
summary
Accessibility practitioners face concrete risks: job listings spike but senior replacements are scarce (about 47% of sampled roles), surveys find only 39% feel resourced and 44% lack support, and 50% report role creep. Concrete mitigations include using askjan.org for accommodations, scripted boundary statements to offload tasks, institutional options like FMLA or a burnout sabbatical (which often slows symptoms but doesn’t fix them), peer support groups, and daily 30 minutes of out that many report as life-changing.
