Programming for Accessibility
summary
Claims that accessibility boosts innovation and reaches far beyond small groups with concrete numbers: ~1 billion people with disabilities, 2.4 billion including their networks, persona example of 26,000 permanent vs 13 million temporary users. Shows standards WCAG 2.1 and ARIA practices, demonstrates built-in testing with Chrome Accessibility devtools, runs a live comparison of accessible vs inaccessible pages, and prototypes AI examples — DeepMoji (trained from ~55B then cleaned to 1.6B tweets) plus a sign‑language model using TensorFlow in the browser that talks to Alexa; demos work but require careful labeling and bias checks.
