In celebration of this year's Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), Deque offered an Accessibility Fundamentals Bootcamp training for free.
This training provided an overview of basic accessibility concepts, such as why digital inclusion matters and how people with disabilities use the Web. Through this training, participants developed a better understanding of how disabilities affect a person’s experience online, as well as a high-level introduction to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG).
This training was intended for all audiences; including policymakers, management, content creators, developers, designers, testers, and everything in-between.
Topics included:
Tim is a Senior Accessibility Consultant at Deque specializing in training. Tim has assisted project teams in making their applications accessible for over 24 years. He spent most of that time with a Fortune 30 company before joining Deque.
