Impactful Accessibility: The Changes that Mean the Most

slides:none on file

Surveys of disabled users produce concrete wins: write contextual alt text and provide longdesc links or tables for charts, use semantic HTML and native buttons instead of styled divs, prefer browser defaults to brittle ARIA and avoid overlabeling, keep minimum font sizes and visible focus indicators, add a skip to main content link and a persistent, keyboard-accessible search, and implement modals so focus moves into them and they close with Escape key closes modal or a prominent close button.
