Building an Accessibility Culture, One Step at a Time
summary
Company-wide accessibility culture grows by small concrete moves: fix unlabeled buttons, add VoiceOver and Voice Control checks, use Hover Text and the Accessibility Inspector to inspect the runtime tree, and run Show-and-Tell demos using only assistive tech. Partners like Fable supply testing sessions with real assistive-technology users; training, onboarding modules and “good first accessibility” backlog items spread knowledge. Design shifts left to assign roles/labels early and measure improvements with actual user feedback.
