In Their Own Words: Stories of Web Accessibility
summary
Cites concrete interviews with users and gives numbers: 18.55 million more severely disabled people than New Yorkers and comparisons to Australia, and shows real harms — inaccessible booking systems that charge a phone fee, Schmooper app broke rides for screen-reader users, and fragile forms with unlabeled fields and CAPTCHAs that stop people. Explains fixes that actually work: keyboard navigation, meaningful alt text, captions, chat/text support, and that Drupal 8 ships with hotkeys, ARIA and screen-reader-friendly admin UI — often trivial changes with big impact.
