Sustainable Accessibility Learning
summary
Begins by claiming beginners learn basics then stop because there’s no roadmap and proposes a concrete three-part path: the W3C/edX intro, follow WCAG guidelines, and the IAAP Web Accessibility Specialist syllabus as a study outline. Recommends hands-on testing: keyboard-only navigation, screen reader checks with VoiceOver and NVDA, throttled connections and the tota11y bookmarklet. Gives actionable fixes—informative page titles, captions, semantic HTML, contrast ratios, keyboard-accessible controls—and frames accessibility as iterative improvement, not perfect scores.
