Alex Block 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦Folks in the #US who work in #Section508 and #WCAG #Digital #Accessibility : with the ongoing elimination of #DEI, are you noticing any pushback or reduction in investment or efforts to adhere to accessibility? I'm wondering about impacts on #Adobe #PDF remediation and web accessibility.
Please boost for exposure.
Kirasha Urqhart (she/her)#Accessibility Question.
Scenario: Web service has a #Section508 compliant interface readable by most screen readers.
Writing the help guides for how to use the site & including screenshots of the interface showing different buttons highlighted for each step in the instructions.
Is it enough for the #AltText of those screenshots to indicate it shows the button being highlighted, if the location of the button is in the page text? Or should the button location still be in the alt text?
WagtailWagtail’s latest Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) is now live – https://wagtail.org/blog/our-updated-accessibility-conformance-report/ Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the previous report!
Michael HanscomStarted my official DHS #Section508 Trusted Tester training yesterday. You get 180 days to finish. I don’t think I’ll take that long. Mostly, though, I wonder if I’ll be able to get through before the current administration pulls the plug on the certification program entirely. #a11y #accessibility

I belive that this is the first government-wide scan of USA states for web accessibility. The report averages over 34,000 state government web pages to create a meaningful snapshot of how inclusive government sites are.
