Accessibility and You
summary
Shows concrete results and workflows: BBC News runs lab studies with 36 participants, 18 with cognitive disabilities, and compares typefaces (the new BBC font improves legibility for neurodiverse readers). Uses real tools — screen readers, Chrome accessibility audits, linting, device testing and a GitHub checklist — and documents fixes and test steps. Builds an internal community with 150 champions across 26 teams and runs swarms and user sessions in a research lab so issues get reproduced, fixed and justified to stakeholders.
