#DisabilityIN Very quick demonstration of Microsoft Accessibility Insights run against the Disability:IN home page only. Found no issues! Applause from audience. I *think* the “Needs review” tab listed two issues.

Slide showing the Disability:IN home page and the Accessibility Insights automated checks step finds no issues.

#DisabilityIN The Evinced CEO referred to the W3C ARIA Authoring Practices Working Group as one of the three pillars of creating accessible content. Using it can guarantee “100% accessibility”.

Slide with three boxes: “A new approach” with an arrow making a hard right turn; “ARIA magic” with icons representing web controls; “Gen AI done right” with an unintentional HAL-9000 circle but in purple.
“ARIA Magic” slide: “ARIA pattern enforcement” with a screen shot of the ARIA Authoring Practices patterns page and an arrow drawn to an IDE with script to control a modal dialog, labeled “unit tester”.
“ARIA Magic” slide: “ARIA pattern enforcement” followed by absolutely giant text “100% accessible,” and then much smaller “the most frequently used parts of our web site”.

access capitalists, grifters who are holding back us back from what needs to be done while profiting off disabled people's oppression.
