Building Bridges, Not Walls: An Approach to Accessibility
summary
Company-wide accessibility plan gets drafted, piloted and adopted as the standard for mdlogix applications; roadmap breaks work into six concrete steps (define scope, research, test strategy, implement, iterate, report). Practical details include using Google Lighthouse audits, applying ARIA labels for form fields, recruiting real users and organizations for testing, starting with small, high-impact features like form completion, and iterating when tools or assumptions fail. Results: plan lands in production and teams follow it.
