Global Accessibility Awareness Day

Posted by Christen Barbercheck on

Global Accessibility Awareness Day  

Today marks the 9th annual Global Accessibility Awareness DayThis event began nine years ago because of a blog post that web developer Joe Devon wrote. After Joe tweeted a link to his blog post, an accessibility advocate and professional, Jennison Asuncion, came across it. These two decided to join forces to spread awareness and create Global Accessibility Awareness day, which falls on the third Thursday of every May.  

“The purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital (web, software, mobile, etc.) access/inclusion and people with different disabilities.”

Together Devon and Asuncion are spreading awareness and getting people talking about a topic that is important to both of them 

 

How Can I Get Involved in Global Accessibility Awareness Day 

On the GAAD website, you can find an entire list of suggestions for how you can participate in this event. Because of COVID-19, this year's events look a little different. There will not be any physical events, so GAAD has developed this list for anyone who wants to be involved while still social distancing!  

In addition to the virtual event they have, GAAD has also developed a list of resources for anyone who may require accessibility or assistive technology. This is a great place to start when considering what you can offer your employees.  They have a multitude of free resourcedepending on individual needs.
