Debunking Accessibility Myths

Our team have been working in accessibility for many, many years.

During that time, we’ve had to debunk many accessibility ‘myths’ in the minds of many people in organisations we work with, whether they’re Developers, Content Authors, Designers, Testers or Procurement Managers.

All of these myths hold people back from doing accessibility well, or even doing it at all. Some myths have been around for as long as we have (e.g. websites can be 100% accessible). Others are more recent (e.g. AI tools can fix accessibility).

In this webinar, our team share their favourite accessiblity myths and how to combat them, including;

  • PDFS aren’t accessible
  • ARIA fixes everything
  • Audits should be done just before launch
  • Personas are great for testing
  • WCAG is the law

This practical training enables PDF authors to understand accessibility principles, apply them in their creation of PDFs from Word, Powerpoint, or InDesign, and use Acrobat Pro to add accessibility to any pre-made PDFs they are asked to publish.

Achieving Compliance with our Audits

Auditing is a great way of knowing whether you’re achieving compliance. We offer 2 types of audits at Hassell Inclusion, firstly a Standard Accessibility Audit which works to the WCAG 2.1/2.0 AA guidelines, and the second, our unique Live Accessibility Audit which is a more tailored approach to your organisation, focussing on user journeys and working with your teams directly. Both audit types give you a prioritised action plan – a really useful tool to know where to start with any fixes.
