Shift your mindset on accessibility & inclusion
summary
Dozens of interviews reveal concrete problems: unpredictable popups that cause meltdowns for autistic users, zoomed layouts that make a user spend 15 minutes finding a button, and missing alt text or low-contrast color causing routine failures. Audit pages with Chrome Lighthouse (98% of top sites fail, average 60 errors), fix contrast and alt attributes, include people with situational disability in testing, and run an accessibility hackathon to build capability and measurable fixes fast.
